I’m in therapy right now, and every session I come away with a more clear understand that everyone around me failed their job as a caregiver…
Are there books for this? Or maybe grieving a lost childhood?
I tried googling it but all I’m getting is books to deal with me feeling like a failure. Not the other way around.
Thanks y’all!

*Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents* by Lindsay C Gibson
Try This is How by Augusten Burroughs. He says something like “parents are nice but not necessary”
Speculating a little here: The phrase “adverse childhood experiences” might help narrow down your searches, though I am not sure what has been published to support adults.
The memoir The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls comes to mind, maybe look into this or similar memoirs.
I am wishing you well on your healing and grieving journey 🩷
