I do not know what to do! I have became a totally different person from my health conditions in last 3 years. I have 2 older sisters in medical field, a father in medical field, my teen daughter, my mother and Stepfather.
Let me start out by saying I have lost all local friends since car accident in 2011. I have a grocery list of diagnosis resulting from car accident. My father pretty much abandoned me at a young age when my parent's got divorced. I had talked to my father in 2012 when I got diagnosis. He called me a few times to see how I was coping. I have not heard from him since. He calls my sisters all the time and are really close to them.
I have my oldest sister that did help me with moral support for about a year. She has been dealing with a divorce and her autistic child. I know she is very busy. My other sister which is the middle child is totally selfish, self centered and reminds me a lot of my biological dad. She will text me about her life but will not contact me for help or any support. I texted her the other day asking her if she could contact me because I have to get some test done for possibly more diagnosis. Respond no she was busy at work etc. She has a lot of medical background remind you. So I say ok I understand. She does not say anything about maybe we could talk this day at this time. NOTHING! So I just let it go.
My mother helps take care of my teen daughter and me financially for my bills to maintain my house, which I am really greatful & thankful for. My stepdad is also helping with my daughter and financial. But otherwise I feel as if I am a burden on my family and all I want is some moral/mental support. I talk to my mom everyday but she is very busy with work, my daughter, and a friend of her's that is very sick that has nobody to help her. My mom has been trying to help the lady get a place to live, take her to MDs appointments etc. I understand that is her friend etc but I am her daughter and I am sick as well and need support. Nobody has time for me or even calls to see if I am ok EXCEPT my daughter, mom, and stepdad.
I have no support mentally. I hate the feeling of even bothering anybody in my family because I just get disappointed and rejected. I have seeked out support groups in other communities close by. But that is once a month meeting. Why should I have to look to strangers for any mental support? I am lost in the treatment mainly from my father and sisters. I have a therapist which an hour a week is not enough time but it does give me some strength.
I am sick of some of my family members treating me like I have no existence and they just make my depression etc worse. I am lost for words on what to do. I wanna just run away but obviously I cannot financially.
It sux to lose friends, life, and family members. I feel so lonely and damaged from my family. I need more than help! All I am asking for is moral & mental support. It's like a hug is nowhere insight! I had to vent because it needed to get of my chest.
How do other's deal with these types of family relationships?
