I doing much better from my previous post, but now I have a new problem and don't know how to deal with it. My mother is married to my dad (obviously) and she never or very rarely says I love you to him and she has never said it to me. But I heard her say it to a stranger that she talks with on the phone and he is from Jamaica. I have asked her who it is she talks with and she tells me it is a pen pal. She does not know I heard her say it to him. What really hurts is he is a stranger and I am her son and she will not say it to me. Can you imagine how it hurts, not be hugged or told that your own family does not even care about me? It is no wonder I keeping thinking about dying, it feels like I'm already dead.
