ENMESHED FAMILY

What type of family is referred to as the Enmeshed family?

Enmeshed family refers to a family unit where individuals have a collapsed sense of personal boundaries and are emotionally dependent on one another.

These are good, right? But the negative effect of it is on the high side.

DISADVANTAGES

🎯 High degree of control: Everyone in the family controls one another

🎯 Poor emotional regulation, and significant difficulties that can make life more difficult for family members: They get so affected by one another, this makes them fight a lot, and they insult one another out of rage because of the excessive attachment. This kind of family might end up going their different ways in the future. Because the deeper the love, the deeper the hurt

🎯 Loss of personal identity.
As everyone's needs are molded together into one. This can be stressful and leave no room for individual personal growth. Every member of the family lives a jointed life, instead of individuals living their God-
