Emotional neglect refers to a deficiency in emotional support and connection that can significantly impact an individual's well-being, particularly in formative years. It occurs when a parent fails to provide the emotional nurturing that a child needs to feel valued, understood, and secure. This lack of emotional engagement can manifest in various ways, such as a parent being physically present but emotionally absent, dismissing a child's feelings, or failing to recognize their emotional needs. In the context of father-son relationships, emotional neglect can create a profound sense of disconnection, leaving sons feeling misunderstood and unsupported.
