Something happened recently (not here) which has triggered me and made me wonder... sort of.. why do I bother. I know this post doesn't say much. I just feel like absolute crap.

I would appreciate any hugs/support

I can relate.

I've only recently discovered what a dysfunctional "family" I had and it continues in the only surviving "family" left.

Growing up I didn't feel accepted the way I was. My parents tried to mold me into something I wasn't, something they wanted me to be. It's only in the past few years I've gotten comfortable with my own skin, that I'm just fine the way I am and I'm not "too sensitive" or "too emotional". On that thinking, THEY weren't emotional or sensitive ENOUGH.
