I am the youngest child of an emotionally immature parent and EI only sibling. I am also a HSP and more intellectually mature than either. This discussion resonates so deeply with me! I'm the go to person to fix, to sort, to solve, to advocate, was the carer for 7 years before my mother moved to Aged care. I also have an emotionally immature child. Some days I feel like I'm drowning, I'm in therapy now and wow what an eye opening process and journey I'm on! I've been self employed, a single Mum, fascinated with human behaviour. What I once perceived as weaknesses and failings have become my super powers! Meeting others where they are is not always easy, but knowing they are not currently capable of an emotionally mature relationship with me helps with the disappointment and feelings of unimportance. Thank you for adding to my journey.

Love your book and this amazing interview! Wondering what is the process of learning to rely and feel secure in yourself?
Finding anyone with empathy these days is about as rare as winning the Lotto.
