This vindicates me. And to hear it's more common than what our culture wants you to know or believe.
Wish what people knew: I've grown up with no validation, affection, or acknowledgement. I didn't get heard, so LISTEN to me now. Don't talk over me, interrupt me, or expect me to send a second email or leave a second voicemail because there was no response the first time. I certainly won't put up with anyone's bs anymore. I could use a hug, as didn't get those either.
