The Five Major Roots of Distancing

There are five major clusters of childhood experience that most often generate distancing patterns in adult relationships. They are as follows:

Dysfunctional parental marriages, marked by constant conflict, scarring betrayals, or chronic disengagement

Inadequate parents or caregivers, who were impaired by substance abuse, mental or physical illness, or personality disorders

Loss, of a parent to death, loss of the original parental unit to divorce, loss of home or community to family misfortune or community disasters

Neglect, as evidenced by grossly inadequate nurturance, the absence of parental attention and affection, or inadequate basic material resources (clothing, health care, personal possessions)

Abuse, including physical, psychological, and sexual abuse
