I’m sorry Tisha, it sounds like both you and your sisters were emotionally neglected as children. Sadly this happened all too often in families where it was felt that children were to just obey and be seen and expressing emotions was considered too burdensome. This is so bad for children who instead need to learn what their feelings mean and how to work through them.

Unfortunately, this is still very much lacking in your FOO. This is not something you will be able to change.
