The abandonement/no support issue from family is tough. I try to tough it out but the feelings are real and like you said if anyone would be there for you it would be your family. Sometimes I wonder how it was that I got the short end of the stick when I don’t cause it. I’m not alone.
I though about groups support but that’s not for
Me. It becomes an attention competition and there are people who like to dominate the session. That’s not for me either. I need one on one interaction. Plus I don’t feel comfortable speaking to others about my deep thoughts and issues. Some people like to make their issues known to others but that’s not me.
It’s almost like there’s a missing piece to this puzzle and I can’t grasp it. I guess if I had currently had someone in my life now that was supportive and would be there for me then it would be better. That’s not something I can control. I’ve had no luck in that department as well. Almost all of my relationships I’m the one that supplies either with emotional support or some type of aide. I don’t mind but it doesn’t get reciprocated. I guess I don’t expect it to.
