I wish getting over it was that easy, but I'm still partially stuck in childhood for other reasons, which is another story and more complicated.
Thanks for clarifying. Now I better understand.

Where did I say anything was easy? Getting over the emotional hardships of childhood is probably the hardest thing there is to do. And probably no one ever does 100%.

I'ld like to tell you that, one of these days, your family will probably regret not appreciating you more for the unique person that you are. I don't think that is likely to happen though. That's why I say, if you want to feel valued, you might want to look for that elsewhere. These people will probably never change - is all I'm saying.
