According to author, Dan Neuharth "If your parents controlled you in unhealthy ways, they may have planted land mines in your psyche." Research shows that behaviors and traits exhibited by adult children of controlling parents include the following: depression, low self-esteem, distorted self-image, eating disorders and other addictions, stress-related health problems, inability to sustain an intimate relationship, and more. To read more about the emotional effects of controlling parents, check out Dan Neuharth´s book in the book section of this website.
