Adult Daughters of Emotionally Absent Fathers: Heal the Abandonment Wound, Process Suppressed Emotions, and Stop Needing Validation to Feel Enough - A - Hardcover

by Meredith Parker (Author)

Is your father's emotional absence still controlling your life?

I get it. You grew up with a father who was physically there but emotionally absent. He showed up, but when you needed him? Nothing. Just silence or a tone that made you feel like an inconvenience.

Inside this book you'll uncover:

• Why "he did his best" keeps you trapped in patterns that hurt you (Page 21)

• The 7 manipulation tactics you experienced but didn't have words for (Page 51)
• The 4 attachment styles created by abandonment and which one controls your relationships (Page 88)
• The exact words that kept you small and how they still control your decisions (Page 29)
• Why you sabotage relationships with good men before they can leave you first (Page 84)
• How to set boundaries without over-explaining or justifying yourself (Page 175)
• The physical symptoms that prove your body remembers what your mind forgot (Page 101)
• Why you're exhausted even when you're successful (and what's really draining you) (Page 32)
• When going "no contact" is self-preservation, not cruelty (Page 181)
