I know what it's like to feel and even BE blatantly ignored. Idk about you, but it hurts me. BUT, that being said, sometimes people just can't relate to certain experiences, and so they are at a loss for how to respond. Eg, I just started wailing and sobbing to my mother about how I'm everybody's afterthought, and the only people who remotely put me 1st was my dad and eldest brother who are now both deceased. Her response? Long silence and changing the subject to my younger brother and what time to expect him home. My point? My mom's not touchy feely, I don't know if she's ever offered me comfort after I was potty trained. It's just how she is. I'm sorry you're feeling so down today
