- 3:46this
- 3:46term
- 3:46a
- 3:46lot.
- 3:47Lindsay
- 3:48Gibson's
- 3:48work.
- 3:48Emotionally
- 3:49immature.
- 3:49But
- 3:50I
- 3:50like
- 3:50to
- 3:50look
- 3:51at.
- 3:52There's
- 3:52a
- 3:53lot
- 3:53of
- 3:53conflict
- 3:53within
- 3:54the
- 3:54relationship.
- 3:54This
- 3:55could
- 3:55be
- 3:55obvious.
- 3:55It
- 3:56could
- 3:56be
- 3:56over.
- 3:56Like
- 3:57take
- 3:57a
- 3:57person
- 3:58who
- 3:58has
- 3:58a.
- 3:58Just
- 3:59a
- 3:59typical
- 4:00alcoholic
- 4:01parent.
- 4:01There
- 4:01might
- 4:01be
- 4:01a
- 4:02lot
- 4:02of
- 4:02volatility
- 4:02emotionally
- 4:03and
- 4:03otherwise,
- 4:04a
- 4:04lot
- 4:04of
- 4:04fights.
- 4:06It
- 4:06could
- 4:06be
- 4:06very
- 4:06overt.
- 4:07But
- 4:07high
- 4:07conflict
- 4:08can
- 4:08also
- 4:08be
- 4:08very
- 4:09covert.
- 4:09So
- 4:10it
- 4:10could
- 4:10be
- 4:10a
- 4:10parent
- 4:10or
- 4:10family
- 4:11member,
- 4:11in
- 4:11this
- 4:11case,
- 4:12a
- 4:12family
- 4:12member
- 4:13who
- 4:15has
- 4:15raised
- 4:15a
- 4:16child
- 4:16with
- 4:16a
- 4:16lot
- 4:16of
- 4:16emotional
- 4:17neglect.
- 4:17Maybe
- 4:18they
- 4:18were
- 4:18not
- 4:19a
- 4:19part
- 4:19of
- 4:19their
- 4:20life.
- 4:20Maybe
- 4:21they
- 4:21were
- 4:21in
- 4:21the
- 4:21bedroom
- 4:22a
- 4:22lot
- 4:22of
- 4:22the
- 4:22time
- 4:23during
- 4:23their
- 4:23childhood.
- 4:24So
- 4:24there's
- 4:24not
- 4:24a
- 4:24lot
- 4:25of
- 4:25overt
- 4:25conflict.
- 4:26But
- 4:26trying
- 4:26to
- 4:27emotionally
- 4:27attune
- 4:28and
- 4:28connect
- 4:28with
- 4:29that
- 4:29parent
- 4:29causes
- 4:30a
- 4:30lot
- 4:30of
- 4:30conflict
- 4:31because
- 4:31you're
- 4:31not
- 4:31being
- 4:32emotionally
- 4:32validated
- 4:33and
- 4:33really
- 4:33not
- 4:34parented
- 4:34in
- 4:35an
- 4:35emotionally
- 4:35validating
- 4:36way,
- 4:36if
- 4:36that
- 4:37makes
- 4:37sense.
- 4:37Yes,
- 4:38absolutely.
- 4:41Yeah,
- 4:41I
- 4:41love
- 4:41the
- 4:41term.
- 4:42I
- 4:42mean,
- 4:42it's
- 4:42just
- 4:42one.
- 4:43It's
- 4:43a
- 4:43broad.
- 4:44It's
- 4:44broad,
- 4:45but
- 4:45it's
- 4:45different.
- 4:45Now
- 4:46how
- 4:46is
- 4:46that
- 4:46a
- 4:46different.
- 4:47Different
- 4:47from
- 4:48like
- 4:48what
- 4:48people
- 4:48would
- 4:48just
- 4:49say,
- 4:49oh,

- 4:55Yes,
- 4:56it's,
- 4:56it's
- 4:57much
- 4:57bigger
- 4:57patterns.
- 4:58So
- 4:58this
- 4:58is
- 4:59pervasive
- 5:00patterns
- 5:00that
- 5:01are
- 5:01happening
