When Parents Who Gave Up On Their Dreams Project On You
Taking your setbacks too far
When you have a setback that you do not think is the end of the world, your parent treats it like it is the end of the world. You call her for some support and encouragement, but she overreacts, saying things like, “This is very bad. This is what I’ve been talking about. It’s very hard what you do. It can be very painful. This will be hard to recover from.”
