Hi SlumberKitty, you are not wrong to feel the way you feel. Often when we want another person to care because we do, it can be disappointing to us when they don't. As we live our lives we learn that people can be selfish and they don't always know how to actually respect the needs of others. It's not always that they are intentionally trying to be mean or disrespectful either, it's more about how they simply don't know "how".
