Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents - Lindsay C Gibson

“The sight of my mother's nakedness jarred me. No body existed less for me: and none existed more. As a child I had loved it dearly; and as an adolescent it had filled me with an uneasy repulsion: all this was perfectly in the ordinary course of things and it seemed reasonable to me that her body should retain its dual nature, that it should be both repugnant and holy - a taboo. But for all that, I was astonished at the violence of my distress.”

So beautifully written and translated
A page from Simone De Beauvoir’s A Very Easy Death. Excerpt reads: "Thinking against oneself often bears fruit; but with my mother it was another question again - she lives against herself. She had appetites in plenty: she spent all her strength in repressing them and she underwent this denial in anger. In her childhood her body, her heart and her mind had been squeezed into an armour of principles and prohibitions. She had been taught to pull the laces hard and tight herself. A full-blooded, spirited woman lived on inside her, but a stranger to herself, deformed and mutilated."
