Emotional Neglect
Childhood plays a significant role in shaping the overall personality of a person. When the phrase ‘bad childhood’ comes up, we often think of shouting, physical violence, sexual abuse, lack of resources or absence of parents, etc. In some cases, children may not experience any taunting, shouting, or physical abuse— everything seems just right with their upbringing. But the problems they face later in life make it clear that the wounds they carried were psychological, and one big reason is emotional neglect.
