This book really helped me figure out my parents and my childhood. For my entire life I've essentially thought "my parents aren't really narcissists and they weren't outright abusive, so why have I always felt like something was wrong with my upbringing, and why do I seem to harbor resentment towards them?". Turns out they were / are very emotionally immature. This quote summarizes it pretty well: > Growing up in a family with emotionally immature parents is a lonely experience.
