I guess.. because they are the only “family” you have and there is that minuscule chance (?) they might realise you’re “worthwhile” and treat you with decency.

I’m the only person in the “family” of origin who isn’t NPD or sociopathic and so of course I’m not “deserving” of love or respect..(in their minds) In fact I’m the “bad” person or at the very least “weak” (don’t they just love labels )
