Long-term effects of parental rejection

Briefly News spoke to psychologist Paula Quinsee, who shared the effects of parental rejection, especially by a father.

Quinsee explained that one of the effects was the inability to process or deal with overwhelming emotions such as anger and disappointment. She said that children whose fathers rejected them may also experience difficulty in expressing their feelings healthily.

"Lack of emotional support and validation from a father figure can impact a child's ability to regulate their emotions effectively. As adults, this can result in difficulty of managing stress, overwhelming emotions, or an inability to express their feelings in a healthy way," Quinsee said.

Michelle Naude recommended strategies that co-parents can use to effectively resolve their personal issues before attempting to co-parent healthily.

She advised taking accountability and also writing down how or what they expect their ideal co-parenting experience to look and feel like.

"Self-reflection and taking accountability for their own behaviour is advised. Constructing a Co-Parenting vision is extremely helpful. Each parent writes down their preferred Co-Parenting vision, i.e. how they would like the co-parenting arrangements to look," Naude shared.
