Hi everyone! I am hoping to pick your brains.

Because writing is helps me process the traumas (including childhood emotional neglect), of my childhood. I have been invited to write a reflection, or something else of my choice, about neglect to be posted in an e-newsletter. If you were reading something about emotional neglect, what would you wish to "hear" from it?

Or, on the flip side, what do you wish people knew about neglect?

I just wish people knew that I wasn't okay

I wish they'd wake up, and smell the bacon as it were.

I also wish people knew that I don't sleep

I am so fed up of the question how did you sleep?, when clearly the answer is always 0 hours

To "hear" from it, that this is a "legitimate" thing and not one's imagination. Until I found this forum, I didn't know there was such a thing. And it was what I experienced growing up. 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.
