Our relationship with our parents often stays the same because we hope one day, they will change and treat us differently. But when they don't, this leaves us feeling disappointed, frustrated, resentful, and hurt. Instead of waiting for them to give us the affirmations and validations we need, the best way to improve our relationship with them is to change ourselves and fulfill the needs of our inner child. Written by someone who overcame childhood emotional neglect, this book is especially suitable for those who have emotionally immature, absent, or unavailable parents.
