Research at the
University of Connecticut, Department of Human Development and Family Studies, showed that regardless
of race, culture, or gender, most people (children as well as adults) tended to
have a similar response when they perceived rejection from their parents or
caregivers.
Rejection by either
parent is traumatic for children. However, since fathers tend to be viewed as
having more power or higher prestige, rejection by a father can be harder on
you and can cause more long-lasting emotional damage than being rejected by
your mother. As
a result, such children tend to become more anxious and insecure and may also
become more hostile and aggressive towards others. The emotional pain generated
from the rejection registers in the same part of the brain as physical pain and
can remain into adulthood, preventing the individual from developing strong,
trusting relationships with other adults. This can negatively impact their own
life in a myriad of differing ways unless the person chooses to actively
recover. More tomorrow.
