It was important for me to hear someone else say that their mother never said that they love them. My mother also was not an affectionate person, neither was my father much, although I can remember my father playing with us and rubbing his stubby beard against our face and tickling us at times. I never remember any play time from my mother. Yet it was shown in other ways that she loved us deeplhery. It wasn't much attention shown to me or my six other siblings. As I was growing up I just never heard "I love you" from either parents. I never hugged her until my teen years. When we would talk about things, her voice was very soft but at the same time somewhat stiff. I wander if her childhood and teen years were similar to mine. I think she had it hard since she was the oldest girl of five, and she had two children out of wedlock at a young age. If we look at those traits we are very different in raising our children and it is intentional. I hug, I say I love you, I kiss (A lot) my son as a baby, child, adolescent, and adult. Although as an adult I have noticed he gives me kisses way more often then his teenage years. I have always hugged him and he never thought twice with hugging me anywhere at anytime. That is just the way we roll with each other. In high school he was far from a perfect …show more content…
How then can you give love if you never received it? Laura was diagnosed with "failure to thrive" a medical term that we use in Hospice care when someone has given up. They are frail, some without any know illness, and function with a poor appetite or no appetite at all. Laura too was considered with failure to thrive. Her mother, is she at fault for neglect when Laura was seen as declining? I feel that the Psychiatrist intervened with help for both mother and child. The plan was to restore
I do agree with you writing John and Lydia case as neglect. John and Lydia are not properly cared for. John and Lydia health is at risk from
This is because of how she was raised and her own mother never said it to her. “I don’t want to talk about dinner when there are so many important things we haven’t said to each other. I suppose for my mother, “I love you” sticks in the throat.” (Bui 38). This way of parenting can have a lot of emotional and psychological effects on the kids.
Neglect occurs when a health professional, carer or family member fails to provide the level of support or care that that person needs. This neglect can be deliberate or as a result of ignorance of required standards and practices. Again this neglect can result in the failure to meet the person’s physical, medical, nutritional, educational, emotional or social needs.

Neglect is the deprivation of services deemed necessary for maintenance of physical and mental health. Elder neglect is sometimes the result of an inability on the part of an elder to care for him or herself without external assistance or support (Nancy L. Falk, Judith Baigis, & Catharine Kopac, 2012). It also occurs when the person responsible to provide such support fails to fulfill his or her obligations (Fulmer & O’Malley, 1987). This type of abuse includes abandonment, as well as deprivation of such basic needs as food, water, clothing, housing, or medical care (Elder Abuse Forensic Center, n.d.). Scenario: A 80 year old woman who bed bound is cared for at home by her family. Over time she becomes, emaciated, dehydrated,
Whereas in Susanna’s view, she sees her support from family disappear even more, as her parents never visit her and instead leave her in the institution by herself. This shows that Susanna’s lack of support did not help her mental health.
Today, mothers can show love in many types of ways. It is safe to say, it’s the same feeling and emotion either
Neglect or acts of omission- ‘Failure to provide access to services to meet a person’s health, social care or educational needs or withholding the necessities of life such as medication, food and heating (Wiltshire 2014).’ A carer can neglect or create an act of omission if they withdraw or do not give the help that a vulnerable adult needs, by not giving the care a vulnerable adult needs they will be causing the patient to suffer. If the neglect ‘results in the impairment of, or an avoidable deterioration in physical or mental health, or the impairment of
From birth to age 6/7, studies have shown, the most important adult figure in a child 's life under traditional circumstances is the mother, and it is this period that the child learns what love is. Relationships between the researched subjects and their mothers were uniformly cool, distant, unloving, neglectful, with very little touching, emotional warmth - the children were deprived of love.
In the depths of anorexia I was incapable of caring for myself, both mentally and physically. I was weak and frail, sitting in a chair without a cushion was painful. I could no longer drive due to syncopal episodes and bradycardia, at its worst 34 beats per minute, I was confined to a wheel chair. I let my illness take over in every way possible. I pushed away the ones I loved; Morrie, despite what some may see as degrading, allowed all of his loved ones to be present in sickness. This is another thing in Tuesday’s with Morrie that I found significant. Love is the most important thing in life, which is what Morrie believed. Life is learning to love, extend love, and let love in. He explained how many do not feel deserving of love or someone will be viewed as pathetic and weak if they allow another to love them. He went on to talk of a man named Levin who said “Love is the only rational act.” (Albom 16) I can relate to both paradigms of this. Anorexia made me feel undeserving of love so I isolated myself. It felt as though I was too complicated and that once someone knew me they could never truly love me. I was ashamed of my anorexia and past. I try to remind myself, and Morrie helped drive home, that I must extend love to let love in and that love is the only rational
The three simple words “I love you,” are words which we all need to hear. These words are magical words, but yet they are hard to say and often hard to receive. A lot of this goes back to the family. When a baby isn’t properly nurtured and loved, he/she is more than likely to grow up struggling to give or receive love. We must make sure that these three magical words are said and expressed within
The love of affection is a term that I feel I have had in my life and was easily portrayed as a need. My parents are the people in who brought me into this world. They have shown me their ways of becoming a person- by me making my own decisions, and most importantly having a walk with Christ. They may have been a pain to me through discipline, but they always have shown me their love through affection.
All those years as a child I thought that was the way a family was until I started to see other families and realize that wasn’t the case. Honestly, I learned to show love when I got my first dog, although very awkward at first, it felt so good to show and love something so insistent and unconditionally loving. Fortunately, my siblings
Expressing love and affection is the most important way to be good parents. Many parents say they love their children more than any parent does, however, their kids complain about less affectionate and less loved parents. Love and affection, when they are not expressed, are worthless.
