I do hear you I'm just wondering....have you gotten any therapy for this. Being ignored or laughed at and not taken seriously as a child can leave you with problems as an adult.

It's not fair but it is what it is. Until I worked through my issues from my family of origin, I chose relationships with people who did not respect me and abused me. Once I got past that I naturally gravitated towards more kind, supportive and loving friends and husband.
