Family Patterns
A few patterns that tend to show up later, even in an otherwise stable childhood.
Emotional immaturity in a parent isn't the same as neglect or abuse, which is part of why it's easy to miss. The household can look stable from the outside, needs can be met materially, and the impact still shows up later in how a person relates to themselves and others.
Adults who grew up this way often become highly attuned to other people's emotions, sometimes at the expense of their own. Self-worth can end up tied to being useful or easy to be around. It also frequently shows up as anxious attachment, since the early relationship taught that closeness required managing someone else's needs first.
