Yes, disconnecting is better for you while you work through your own emotional challenges, that is what I have done and I am careful about it when I do connect,
however, as I gain on myself I do better. I do my best to remember not to blame
others as we are what we know and if a person doesn't know how to connect emotionally, they don't realize it and yes will tend to just "need" and not "give" but,
with help a person can slowly "learn" how to emotionally connect better, however,
they have to address their own baggage first.

This is a common family problem that gets handed down from one generation to the next unfortunately. If you have ever watched "The Nanny" on television you will see
how she goes from family to family addressing this and showing them why they are
dysfunctional and struggling. I don't know if that is still on, it used to be on primetime
and I thought that was great, but for some reason that changed.
Thanks for this!
