I just want to reach out and see if anyone has experienced something like "unintentional" childhood neglect. Or if it can even exist as a concept.
Because when I was young it felt like my parents fulfilled basic parental duties but could not juggle the responsibilities that came with my early childhood mental illness. Like getting yelled at and blamed for not being organized enough, or crying too much, or not passing milestones like my peers. Then getting ignored/not getting proper parenting when they became "overwhelmed." My parents both have mental illness themselves, so it makes me wonder if the burden of a difficult child made them turn away and as a side effect left a lot of problems/me feeling abandoned. If anyone else has experiences similar to this, I'd appreciate your take. |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
