MY PARENTS DON’T LOVE ME: How to Recover From Parental Rejection | Wu Wei Wisdom

🔴 DISCOVER THE WU WEI WISDOM SECRET TO HEALTH, HAPPINESS & FLOW BY SUBSCRIBING:

☯️ WU WEI WISDOM LIFE LESSONS EPISODE # 123

Do you believe that your mother or father doesn’t (or didn’t) love you, approve of you, or even want you?

A challenging and difficult relationship with a parent often begins in early childhood and can impact your whole life. Many people believe it creates a lasting emotional scar that cannot be undone.

In this teaching, we reveal the truth about the ‘parent wound’ (the ‘mother wound’ / ‘father wound’) and how you can recover, heal and thrive in the aftermath of dysfunctional parenting.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS

- What is the ‘parent wound’ and how is it formed?

- Signs that a dysfunctional parenting experience is now impacting your adult life.

- How the inner child seeks to protect itself from the parent wound and the strategies it uses.

- What is the life lesson from a dysfunctional parenting experience?

- How to support the inner child and recover from dysfunctional parenting.

My mother rejected me from birth because she had me out of wedlock. My father is an alcoholic and simply didn't care enough to help me as a child. I've been no contact for 4 years now with my parents and it has really helped me in my recovery. I am 50 years old and well on the road to recovery. Letting them go is the only way to heal. It really is.

[lorraineharvey]

I wish I could feel love for myself, but I don't. My parents hated me, 50 yrs later I am trying to heal after so much pain.

[nancybartley]

What if you thought they loved you as a child, but it became obvious in adulthood that they only felt obligated to you?

[bevgeorge]

Thank you for this video. My mum passed away 3 weeks ago and I've lived and worn the " not good enough badge" for many years to the point of stepping away from my family to walk my own path. This video has helped to let go of the "what if I'd tried harder" because I now realise I did my best and I am good enough for me and no one else. The what others think is none of my business has also been invaluable. Thank you both as always for sharing the wu wei wisdom. 🙏💕

I never realised the in the past 25 years i may have been oddly depressed due to having no significance to any of my family members

[AF-wzth]

Makes sense…. 41 and realised that I still hold on to wanting to be loved and accepted. And have a loving relationship with my parents and sisters. I decided to let go of the idea I will ever have the kind of healthy relationship I want with them. They don’t want it. Or they can’t relate respectfully & lovingly… It’s a pity but I am now going to create a happy, respectful, loving family of my own. Thank you

It’s so heartbreaking to find this out in my thirties.. so much work to do. Thanks for this video

[rahulanand]

Hey David and Alex,

I could see so much sensitivity in both of yours' eyes. I could relate so much with this sensitivity. I have the same and the world seemed so difficult to cope with until my mid age. I am 34 now. I have totally changed the coping mechanism now. It is peaceful inside now.

[ktcee]

Boy, this is good stuff.
Why is being an adult child so hard?
My mother had a difficult life and felt rejected by her mother and said she never wants to be like her. But here she is at 82, doing the exact same thing to me. I feel like im on the outer all the time. She does the silent treatment so well. Ignores me. Wont reply to texts. Will never say sorry. I feel disappointed in her. And i feel abused.

[geohazel]

I brought up an issue that occurred 30 years ago. The typical response is annoyance, but this one time I got an apology. It was a crucial occurrence, as it’s where a lot of the issues started. That apology gave me a lot of relief and I felt a lot better. Unfortunately they didn’t change, so new issues happen.

Yes, a sincere apology goes a long way.

[Payal]

It was so needed.. thank you from the bottom of my heart 😊 feeling hopeful and positive 🤗

[sklauda]

This is difficult for me because my dad still says mean things to me and I do not want to waste my time in his presence.

[terrib]

Love this channel!!!! I watch with my 10yr old son. It is helping us. ❤

[dralbury]

great video. all of your work is amazing. good job

I feel like it is very damaging to tell people who are emotionally injured by their childhood and how their parents treated them that their feelings are invalid, or not true or the 'evidence' doesn't back it up. While it might be the truth, telling somebody how awesome they are when they feel the opposite, like something is missing inside of them, it really isn't going to help them to feel awesome. What you are encouraging is toxic positivity. Forced positivity, to look on the bright side, you've made it this far. The only way they will come into the truth of how 'awesome' they are is not by minimising their feelings but by allowing themselves to feel through this trauma and being honest about how they feel and where they are at. This is what needs to be encouraged, not toxic positivity. The fact that you are saying the 'evidence' doesn't back up how they are feeling is very damaging to their healing because it can prevent healing and force them into false feelings of positivity. Just because someone has come through the dysfunction as you say, doesn't mean there isn't emotional damage that needs to be healed. A good therapist will never say the 'evidence' doesn't back up your feelings, but will encourage those emotions to be explored so that true healing can take place.

I was listening intently to your words. The one word I was listening for but didn’t hear you say was...”Died”. My father died suddenly when I was 9 years old. When I was 13 years old, My mother died in the hospital after a long illness. I do believe my inner child is reacting in the same way as you described in this lesson even though my circumstances were different.
I think it’s important to hear that the death of one or both parents can result in the inner child having similar thoughts and feelings. Thank you for being the voice of my inner child until I can listen to her myself.

Beautiful teaching! Thank you two so very much!
