There is NOTHING wrong with you. They are the ones with the problem. I am so sorry your parents completely missed the opportunity to help you. I'm sorry that you have to remember that and carry it with you.

My parents either completely ignored my issues when I was in undergrad, or chided me for being depressed. I was so depressed I wasn't showering or eating, and barely could pass my courses. I ended up flunking out of grad school due to depression. I was screamed at and told that they were done with me. I do know what you are going through somewhat...the lack of caring and support from my parents has probably permanently broken the relationship.

Feel free to talk to me anytime.

I ended up in the hospital and they still wouldn't help. (Though they would pay for me to travel to a friend's house since the school would not let me stay on campus for spring break). I just didn't tell them the second time. It makes me feel worthless and unlovable. If my parents don't love me then who is going to love me? Parents are supposed to love you no matter what. There are people out there who do terrible things and their parents still love them. I try to be a good person all the time and my parents wont love me. What is wrong with me?
