Question

As a child growing up, i was rejected by both parents. I lt makes me feel unwanted which lead me to be more antisocial. What development theory would describe my situation?

Answer 1

Rejection from both the parents makes the child feel unwanted and unhappy. Neglecting parents often make their kids struggle with problems in their life alone and makes them feel lonely, unsupported, and not worthy of love from their parents.

Such parents can make the childhood of their kids a complete mess and a traumatic experience. Parenting has been known to be a risk factor of antisocial behavior.

The theories related to family influences would be able to describe the situation.
