There are certain things in life no one should ever go through; one of those is parental rejection. This is a deeply painful experience that can cast a long shadow over an individual’s psychological overview; influencing their self-worth, affecting their attachment styles and interpersonal relationships well into adulthood.

This emotional wound, different from the usual family disagreements involves a consistent pattern where a parent shows disinterest, disapproval, criticism or hostility towards their child.
