Support Group For Parents With Controling Parents



A safe haven for those strugling to find their own voice


Hello there! If you've found this place you were probably looking for a suport group to deal with what most of us would just call "problem parents".

But what you might think to just be "difficult" parents might in fact be controling parents. When I first sought out a support group to deal with being an adult with "difficult" parents I never thought I would come to realize that they were controling when I was a child. In fact, I felt it was the exact opposite. I assumed that they just didn't care. But after visiting a few sights and reading a few books I came to the determination that my parents had controlled me with neglect.

According to Dan Neuharth Ph. D. There are 8 different types of control that a parent might act out.

Smothering
Depriving
Perfectionistic
Cultlike
Chaotic
Using
Abusing
Childlike
