All I need was for her to listen...
She told me to go to the church. Course I lied to her.
Yes, I will go to the church and I hung up the phone.
Then all the other sisters have been calling me to see how I am doing.
I never returned their calls... because I have to tell them I am doing fine.
to make sure they don't worry about me.
if I start talking about sad stuff, They either denies or almost interrogate me.
I am supposed to have the most warm support from my own family and they can't do that for me.
This is Y I am constantly feeling emptiness... that no one would listen even just for once or try to understand...
it's just so sad...

I know how that routine goes. I never told my family, a friend of mine actually told them. (That hurts) If I wanted people to know, I'd tell them myself. I had an incident years back and my family brushed it off like nothing was wrong. My family doesn't understand it and I don't talk about it- Ever.
As mentioned, they're not therapists and they probably don't know what to do or what to say. They want what is best for you and want to look out for you, which is why they question you. You could always try therapy. Or if that is uncomfortable, try calling or communicating with a close friend- someone you trust and who will listen and take you seriously.
