back again...read your recent post and think you are traumatized by the suicide. you are trying to express your emotions to your disfunctional family. clearly they are not a comfort to you. perhaps talk about how u feel with a close friend instead? i lost my best friend this way, suicide, and can totally understand how you feel.

the other thought i had was we cannot control others or fix others but we can change our own perceptions of life...sensitivity around others...you can learn new ways to cope especially with your family. i have a similar family and have detached myself emotionally from them. i had a T show me how to protect myself and remove myself from their disfunction. it has surely helped. BTW do you have a T? they can help us with these issues.
sorry you are feeling like your own feelings are not being validated. i don't think your family is the answer so consider a T or close friend to give you comfort during this difficult time. and of course we are here for you 2.
