Just like a child wouldn’t physically grow and develop if they’re going hungry and getting beat up, people who been frequently emotionally traumatized don’t develop emotionally
Lack of emotional maturity is caused by many factors ruby. Not just by abuse. Some of it is likely caused by a disorder. You must work with a professional and please tell them exactly what you tell us, all these situations. Maybe even show this thread. But you have to work with them consistently. Not just in crisis
Thanks for this!
