RE: Growing up without knowing if you're loved
Truly, material and emotional support are two entirely different things
Many parents give their children everything possible but fail to give them the most important of all which is emotional support that could come in the form of attention, encouragement etc
You're right and sadly, this is very common. There should be some equilibrium because both are necessary.
Parents really do need to find a balance between providing for a child's material needs and being there for them emotionally...
