Growing up I was always attached to my mom. My mom was my rock, as moms usually are, and I couldn’t stand to be left without her. I would cry whenever she left me with my dad and brother, even if it was for the slightest bit of time. My dad worked full time at a big corporation, and my mom was a stay-at-home mom, which may explain why I was so used to her being around. When I got to about the middle school age, my bond with my dad began to develop; I began to enjoy my dad’s attention whenever I could and I appreciated being around him more.
(vii) Neglect by others 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.).

The bond that is made between a parent and a child is one of the most powerful bonds that is created throughout a lifetime. The theme of parenthood has a close personal connection to my life, and also in many other people’s lives. The strong connection I have with my mother is one that I hold very near to my heart. Without the unconditional love and support I receive from her everyday, I would not be able to move forward into my future the way I plan to next year. I have made mistakes, and will continue to as I grow into an adult, but I am certain that my mother's love for me will never change. No matter how big the fight, I will never doubt her love and I believe many people can identify with that. The unconditional love of a parent that
Neglect and abuse are becoming prevalent in nursing homes around the world, and people are accepting this as a new normal. A few of the residents are incognizant that they are being neglected or abused due to their state of mind. As a caregiver, I have witnessed numerous incidents where residents were treated in cruel and inhumane ways. Some residents may suffer from more abuse because that they don’t have family coming to visit them. When people have lost their independence, they become more vulnerable and need positive people around them to gain their self-esteem back. In his book Seaton mentions what neglect means, “In the

Unconditional love: Love that is absolute and that is not subject to any special terms. This phrase is something that I longed for in my family. With false hopes of my mother accepting me for who I am, with no objections recurred ever so often over the course of many years. I can recall my mother texting me in the morning, “I love you unconditionally,” which she proved to be not true on November 8th, 2016. During fourth hour of my Junior year, I received a text message from my mother; It stated foul content that consisted of homophobic slang. Her terminology proved that she was not very intelligent. The messages shocked me into numbness where my emotions were discombobulated. I did not know if I wanted burst into tears or curse at her. Neither option seemed like the right choice at the time. After School, I did not return home, I was terrified to face her after; this is when the abundance of messages continued. She included to say things such as, “I’m going to burn all of your clothes” “Come home faggot if you’re so proud to be one,” etcetera. These messages affected me in a new found way, mainly because they were coming from my mother. I was with my friends, Joe and Kennedy and they comforted me as I cried in hysteria. The thought of ever coming home again did
Emotional neglect is the failure to attend to a child care for sensitive needs. A child must be shown the proper care and love. “Even though extreme cases of emotional neglect may be clear it is much more difficult to say how much emotional attention is enough or how many of neglect constitute likely harm.” Emotional neglect is hard to see or diagnose. (pg. 71)
