To have you available for advice, to go and sort out problems he may have with other people, to listen To get to know you To have his inner drive respected and allowed to remain intact To be able to experiment and to have a place to climb and exercise To develop his independence at his own pace To be spoken to with respect, thanked and apologised to when appropriate How much of that did you get as you were growing up? Unfortunately many parents are not emotionally mature themselves - in some ways it seems odd that the physical body carries on maturing whether the emotional maturity is on a par with it or not. Having said that gross immaturity is easy to observe because it does have an obvious physical reflection, it follows therefore that there are physical signs of emotional immaturity and we need to sharpen our powers of observation to detect them. I do feel that I can now recognise the inner person from the outer body. Some of this due to the greater sensitivity I have gained from the changes in my own life and personality, some of it from bitter experience! What may have happened to your parents as they grew up? | ||
