Emotional Incest: Learn about it, how to recognize the signs of this abuse in yourself or others, and steps to take to heal from it<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though not sexual, emotional incest<\/a> is as harmful and leaves just as many long-lasting, detrimental effects on the abused. Emotional incest occurs when unhealthy emotional interactions cause inappropriate and blurred boundaries between an adult and child in a psychologically inappropriate way. When a parent looks to their child for emotional support or treats them more like a partner than a child, it\u2019s considered emotional or \u201ccovert\u201d incest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emotional incest creates a huge burden for a child, often making them feel guilty for leaving the parent to do things that normal kids do, like engaging in extracurricular school activities. A child suffering from emotional incest isn\u2019t able to form happy or healthy relationships; they are too used to the emotional manipulation of being made to feel responsible for fixing the upset or sadness of the parent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
