I always took the attitude that I was the one who worked hard to achieve what I accomplished & I knew no one in my life (parents & later husband- now ex) could NEVER comprehend how it made me feel because none of them could ever relate. I myself got joy out of my accomplishments & that was good enough for me. I was basically discouraged but in my rebel self & basically told everyone to "stick it" & accomplished the goals I wanted to accomplish. Lol.....my dad was actually kinda proud when I graduated & got my computer engineering career.. but he would never say so.....but he never said "I told you so, not to do it".....so I took that as a silent approval.
My joy for everything comes from inside of me. I am the one who defines what is significant in my life or not. IF there is any outside support great but it doesn't make any difference how I feel about it.
I have found this attitude has served me well throughout 70 years of life.
