I’m so sorry that happened to you. How hurtful! It’s hard when one feels unloved and uncared for. There’s a book out - Running on Empty - about Childhood Emotional Neglect that might be helpful if you think that is what this is. I have a background of Childhood Emotional Neglect and live with my mom to care for her and my brother. It’s tough when there has been CEN.

I hope therapy and posting here helps you. Hang in there and take excellent care of yourself. You are amazing!
