This example offers only one of the infinite numbers of ways that a parent can emotionally neglect a child, leaving him running on empty.” – Jonice Webb

27. “There is a minimal amount of parental emotional connection, empathy and ongoing attention which is necessary to fuel a child’s growth and development so that he or she will grow into an emotionally healthy and emotionally connected adult.

Nor is it experienced by most people as a symptom that interferes with their lives. It’s more a generic feeling of discomfort, a lack of being filled up that may come and go.” – Jonice Webb

30. “Some people experience it physically, as an empty space in their belly or chest. Others experience it more as an emotional numbness.” – Jonice Webb

31. “You may have a general sense that you’re missing something that everybody else has, or that you’re on the outside looking in. Something just isn’t right, but it’s hard to name. It makes you feel somehow set apart, disconnected, as if you’re not enjoying life as you should.” – Jonice Webb

35. “Empty feelings arise from not having been filled up emotionally as a child. Something was missing in your connection with your parents, a fullness in the quality and/or quantity of emotional connection as a child.” – Jonice Webb

36. “The more you care about yourself, love yourself, understand yourself, and value your emotional self, the more you’ll care, love, understand and value your children and their emotions. Gradually you’ll have less empty feelings, and gradually your children will become less prone to emptiness. Their tanks will be filled with rich, longburning, premium grade love for self and others that will keep them going for their entire lives.” – Jonice Webb

37. “Many neglected people have it in a much milder form and are not so tortured by it. But I have found that emptiness at its mildest interferes with a person’s ability to engage in and enjoy life. At its most severe, it can drive people to consider, or even act on, suicide.” – Jonice Webb

38. “In many ways, emptiness or numbness is worse than pain. Many people have told me that they would far prefer feeling anything to nothing.” – Jonice Webb

39. “It is very difficult to acknowledge, make sense of, or put into words something that is absent. If you do succeed in putting emptiness into words to try to explain it to another person, it’s very difficult for others to understand it.” – Jonice Webb

40. “Emptiness seems like nothing to most people. And nothing is nothing, neither bad nor good. But in the case of a human being’s internal functioning, nothing is definitely something. Emptiness is actually a feeling in and of itself. And I have discovered that it is a feeling that can be very intense and powerful. In fact, it has the power to drive people to do extreme things to escape it.” – Jonice Webb
