“Love involves more than just feelings. It is also a way of behaving. When Sandy said, "My parents don't know how to love me," she was saying that they don't know how to behave in loving ways. If you were to ask Sandy's parents, or almost any other toxic parents, if they love their children, most of them would answer emphatically that they do.

What toxic parents call "love" rarely translates into nourishing, comforting behavior.” IfsKnowsWayChildrenSaidFeelingsAsksFeltParentAnswersHealingKnow HowBehaviorBehaveToxicTeensTranslateComfortingHow To LoveUnlovedSandy Author:Susan Forward
