I agree, I don't appreciate this thread at all

It throws me back---- being trampled and forgotten as the youngest in a large dysfuntional family. I was even left at home one morning when I was six.... everyone forgot I was there.... I cried and was so scared. and when my mom finally did come home she told me how stupid I was for being upset.

Been so fearful of being left out that I think I actually cause it as I fear the "feeling" so much-- I just keep a distance so I can rationalize why I WAS left out-- It hurts so much.

I try to help people here at PC, when I am up to it... but still.......looks like I remain as what has always been.... left out. I'm insignificant, expendable.... not worth a thing.

Any one can make a bet and win big on a thread like this--- that "mandy" will be the one NOT mentioned..... I'm serious-- it's what is written for my life-- it's always been this way -- like I said, since I was little-- was told by an older sister that she tried to pay attention to me when she wasn't in school as I was left on my own as an infant-- I wasn't included in the family "group" even then. So you see-- this is no surprise for me--- It's all I've known.......

on the outside-- looking in
