Thanks @bpcyclist for this post
''Expectations are resentments which haven't happened yet''
I think that is right on in many cases. Especially when parents voice ''disappointment'' to the ''baby'' when old enough to absorb that.....that their new, perfect baby is the ''wrong'' sex for example which they expressed to me.. thanks a bunch for that (and all the other examples of a profound lack of appreciation, why bother having a cub

I would appreciate it if any replies are supportive of me, the OP, thanks (and not about telling me how I ''should'' feel etc)

I would take any cub you offered me--right now. Not sure how I would feed him or her, but I am sure I would figure it out eventually... I bet I would sleep better with a little cub.

I am so sorry if you felt I was being unsupportive, Fuzzybear. That was certainly not my intent. Or maybe that line was not for me? Anyhow, I hope you have a peaceful and pleasant day.

I didn’t feel you were being unsupportive at all

The issue is with some parental units who are not satisfied even with a “good” cub
Who always have to project their bad internal stuff onto the cub

And yes, some other abusers who have taken advantage of my kindness and having “studied” psychology they then used that to abuse and harm and exploit, rather than to help or to be kind

(I meant to put that wasn’t about anyone here)

^This is a great saying I try to remember when I am disappointed.

It greatly saddens me that some people have children and abuse them instead of loving them.

" Don't ever have any expectations and you will never be disappointed ".
That's how I try to live. It's very hard for me though , and I've pretty much wasted a GREAT deal of time trying. All my life I've been hoping and waiting for that phrase or action that never comes. Good luck to you fuzzy

I learned (through sobriety) to make my needs known. And my expectations. When they arent met then I know the person doesnt care, wasnt listening or something else like that.
