Since we are talking about our childhood, I thought I would provide the link to more video's on Childhood Emotional Neglect....it's not about blaming parents because even good parents can create the environment that this happens in.

Why You are Running on Empty

Hope this helps give some insight to those of us who thought we had a good childhood but felt that there was something seriously missing. It's not a mental illness condition but it definitely can contribute to one if not healed from.

Looking back at my life for the first 54 years, I can see this clearly now. It puts words to what I was experiencing. It's only been in the last 9 years when I left that environment completely & am surrounded by wonderful friends who I can have an emotional connection with that I have really healed....LOL...I went from answering yes to all but 3 of the questionnaire questions to only answering yes to 3....amazing what 9 year & being around the right people can do in our lives
