Were you emotionally neglected?

As I know from early years,my emotions were never taken seriously.Feel like no one cared about how I feel…

Yes. And other people could abuse me because no one was paying attention. I still believe that no one cares. I don’t believe my husband cares about me even though he must to some extent…just not as much as I would like? No one cared and now I can’t believe any different.

Peoples negligence is hurting me more and more.I’m about to undergo a surgery,and thought that I’ll be alone all the time is killing me.Plus I alone must do all tests and I’m afraid of surgery alone.Yesterday it was cold and roads were icy,so I felt I’m gonna broke the rest of my hip,and nealed down on my knees and crawled.One woman was sorry but couldn’t help me.It’s embarrassing feeling when my brother is hating to bring me groceries.Now I have cold,and i paged him with messages to let me know when is going to store,he was in other room with his girlfriend,so it took some time.When they went back,i’m sure they heard me coughing all morning,brought me sth for cold.

Do you tell your brother how you feel alone and would appreciate his being with you for your surgery, etc? I hope he’ll be there for you more. :heart:

Actually his girlfriend takes care of me more than him.She reminds him of his bad attitude towards me.

Thing is that if people treated me like human from early years,wouldn’t be so pissed,sore,and angry.I’m trying to forget some things in life which torture me,and can’t forgive some people for their molesting through years.On the other hand,tend to help everyone I can,without expecting gratitude.Just won’t let my self turn in the stone,which majority would like.

I was also but I know most of it was because even as a small child I would never let on how I actually felt… Having Sz symptoms as a kid forced me to hide it out of fear… I stuffed it down and my emotions got shoved into the same shallow grave I buried my “monsters” tgat is sz in… I’m better about it now but still reserved with most…

As far I’m concerned after years of therapy in my head my mums been dead to me since 3 and my dad never returned from Vietnam. Not even sure I am capable of a relationship tbh I’m trying not to rationalize it all atm.

No, not emotionally neglected. But, from the time I was two years old, I was physically abused by my father. From the time I was nine years old, I was sexually abused by my father. And I was emotionally and verbally abused by my father ever since I can remember. And all of this was on a daily basis throughout my childhood and most of my adulthood too. No wonder I became so messed up in the head.

My mother prized her boyfriend over me. She still does it now, because he gives her money, so she never learned how to budget. She expects me to act like him and give her money, but I don’t have any. I’m in serious credit card debt because of it. I also have student loans and of course half her rent and bills.

Hm. Thank you for the advice!

Here’s a better question. Did you emotionally neglect yourself?
