Hi. When you work on your own self worth and self esteem you'll be less needy.
There's nothing that can change the past, but how we view the past makes all the difference.

I was shipped from house to house. Had only negative reinforcement from my mom and step dad.


So in your case you can look at the past neglect and say,"Good. It's made me a stonger person.". Maybe what they had to give was toxic and you're lucky they didn't harm you that way.

There's a great book called The Power of Now. Elkhart Tolle. Or get it on cd.
It talks about the pain body- your neglect. And what to do about it.

It is important to stay in the present moment no matter what. We no longer have the past. We don't yet have the future. We only have the present. Now. Don't waste it.
