Emotional neglect is sometimes normalised in families. It might have been in the name of being ‘rational’, ‘successful’, ‘wealthy’, ‘busy’, or not ‘spoiling’ the children. Often, the parents have not been taught the language of emotional attunement. They are simply unable to give what they have not received.
Know that your emotions are valid and beautiful.
You are beautiful – all parts of you.
