CO🧐Maybe they’re confused?
Because a lot of emotionally immature parents (EIPs) say, “the phone works both ways” -
But expect their CHIlD to always be the one calling, checking in, repairing, and keeping the relationship going
And when you stop?
Suddenly thry see you as:
- Distant
- Changed
- Neglectful
Yet they don’t pick up their phone to check in…
The irony - or hypocrisy- is hard to miss once you see it🤷🏻♀️
Many adult children were conditioned to OVERFUNCTION in the relationship - until they decide they can’t carry it all themself
To be clear: Stepping back doesn’t create distance…it exposes the imbalance
If this resonates, you’re not alone
✨We unpack dynamics like this (and the guilt that comes with changing them) inside my Support Group for Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents
Next group starts April 2026
👉🏽Comment “START” to join others who 💯 understand the struggle -
and are just as committed as you are to break free from the invisible control their parent has on their thoughts, feelings, and life
