Abstract
In a family all kinds of conflicts and problems occur that affect both the parents and their children. The conflicts which are especially painful are those related to the inability of parents to deal with their own emotions and feelings. In this article, after clarifying the main concepts, the author first discusses the typical features of parental emotions and feelings (creativity, proximity, intensity) in order to identify the reasons for “emotional defeats” (the inability to express emotions, the inability to recognize emotions, emotional liability, “getting stuck” in some emotion, harmful suppression of emotions, masking of one’s feelings, stress, fatigue, addiction). Secondly, the author describes their effects (codependency, emotional distance, weakening of emotional ties, superficiality, impaired communication, “internal emigration”, family identity crisis). At the end, he discusses toxic tactics in dealing with these defeats (suppression; avoidance; pretending they do not exist; transfer of emotions on others; resignation in coping with emotions). Consequentially, these tactics lead them to formulate remedies. A discussion of these solutions concludes the article.

Summary
Prima di discutere delle caratteristiche tipiche delle emozioni e dei sentimenti dei genitori vale la pena di precisare i termini fondamentali. A. Rathus, Psychologia współczesna, GWP, Gdańsk 2004, p. Bisogna ricordare che il sentimento è più durevole delle emozioni però allo stesso tempo è meno rapido della passione. Non c’è dubbio che i sentimenti dei genitori sono un elemento molto importante per le relazioni e le interazioni in famiglia. L’amore di genitori può avere diverse facce e dal solo fatto di essere genitori non risulta niente che ci aiuti a definire lo stato delle emozioni vissute dai genitori verso il loro bambino. G. Zimbardo, Psychologia i życie, PWN, Warszawa 1999, p. Vale la pena di analizzare meglio le emozioni e i sentimenti dei genitori, che sono così fondamentali per lo sviluppo del bambino, per la formazione dell’atmosfera familiare e infine per tutto il processo dell’educazione
