Uh but I read up on it and the basic premise of this book, for anyone who hasn't read it, is there's a particular kind of childhood wound, I think is what this author is saying that can be hard to notice.
matched
Which is you had parents who provided for you, loved you in some sense, were not overtly abusive, but one or both parents were unable to relate to you as a separate person with a rich emotional life of your own and autonomy and all of that.
matched
There's actually a whole section of the book that deals with the two broad models of how children of these parents turn out.
matched
And I actually thought that was one of the more interesting sections in the summary that I read, but
matched
Yeah, it leaves a mark, is what she's arguing.
matched
And the result, she says, is often emotional loneliness, believing that your parents' emotional state is more important than your emotional reality, and developing unconscious ideas that, you know, like if I become successful enough, lovable enough, helpful enough, easy enough, good enough, I will finally get the relationship I want from my parent.
matched
That's that's the thesis.
matched
Some people be crazy.
matched
Uh and your mom is one of them.
matched
No, it's more like a general template that can look a few different ways.
matched
I think what this author is describing probably cuts across multiple diagnoses and labels and maybe even personalities that don't have a label.
matched
I don't
matched
You're gonna read it and be like, I grew up in Michigan.
matched
The worst thing about our family is that we had a cabin I hated.
matched
Or it's one of those books you pick up thinking it's gonna help you understand your friends and do a better podcast and then you're like, Oh Yeah, exactly.
matched
So he goes on, reading it was pretty eye-opening, as my mother seems to match a lot of the traits described in the book.
matched
She has low empathy, becomes defensive when criticized, can have impulsive reactions, doesn't really believe in boundaries within a family, and struggles with self-awareness.
matched
Sounds like so many of the parents we hear about on the show.
matched
Growing up, doing something that upset my mother would often result in the silent treatment.
matched
This has been happening since I was around five or six.
