Thanks for your support! m Counselor's Corner: DEALING WITH DOUBLE MESSAGES FROM PARENTS by Pam Edwards Almost every parent has two wishes: (1) that his or her children grow up to be independent, effective people, and (2) that his or her children stay helpless and dependent. Sound confusing? It is. The reason for this: Because there is a little child part within each of us who wants to hold on, fears abandonment, and feels inadequate at times, and there is also a mature part that allows us to let go. The result of these two parts merging is a "double message" which is usually hidden from parents and their children. You as a young adult, coming to college, becoming more independent from your parents, are probably dealing with some double messages yourself. At times the mature parts and the child parts of your parents want contradictory things, so that your mom's or dad's "double bind," a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" situation. Your parents are not "bad" for having these feelings.and you're not "bad" forfeeling angry and confused. Almost everyone has experienced a double bind from his or her parents at onetime or another, and the overall double message received is "Grow up and be strong" versus "Don't grow up." You may be more bound to your parents than you'd like to believe. It may be helpful to look over aspects of your relationship with them from the past to the present. If you recognize that you've been bound too tightly to one or both of your parents, keeping you from moving freely, you've taken one important step out of the bind. The next is recognize that your parents have unintentionally been giving you a "Don't grow up" message that has been enforced by specific techniques: belittlement and undermining of your self-confidence; making themselves seem indispensable to you; provoking guilt if you move away from their control; threatening you with withdrawal of their love, etc. Then, it's i mporta nt to see that the" Don't grow up" message is coming from the little child in your parent(s) and is being responded to by the little child in yourself and has nothing to do with the mature needs and requirements of either of you. The most important recognition is that in almost all parents, the "Don't grow up" message is paired with a "Grow up strong" message that comes from the mature parenting part of them. It is this mature, nurturant aspect of your parent(s) that you must respond to. There's a lot of security in being emotionally bound to your parents. It's deeply familiar. It's knowing that there is somebody out there who has always been there for you, so you are not alone. Breaking the dependence may bring on guilty feelings of being an abandoner, fearful feelings of being abandoned, and angry feelings. Getting through these feelings requires gaining a perspective and seeing the reactions as coming from the frightened child within your parent(s) and/or you. Calling on the nurturing parent within yourself can be a vital step in your own development. By strengthening your own good-parenting ability, you'll be able to respond in a caring way toward thechild in your parent(s). You'll also be able to be a caring parent to yourself.
