It's a rotten feeling when the people we look up to for love and guidance can't give us what they should. It's really devestating to our ego's and self worth. I'm sorry you are hurting like this.

Parents can say cruel things that cut us to the quick without realizing what they have done. And even when you call them on it as an adult, they sweep it under the rug like it wasn't their fault. (I dealt with that from my dear aunty a lot)

I guess the best thing you can do for you is to realize that no matter what you say or do, you cannot change someone else's perception of you unless they have their eyes open to the possibilities. You cannot make them open their eyes.

I realized with my aunt that I couldn't change her mind. So I tried my best to brush it off, and go on from there knowing in my heart that she was wrong.

I hope you can somehow work this out within yourself so you aren't feeling so badly about it.
