Tremor Christ Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 (edited) Anyone else feeling this? I recently realised my parents don't love me. They love their son, but they don't love me, the person. I had this feeling of disconnect since I was 7-8, but always felt guilty. I tried my hardest to appease them, to no avail. I used to be ashamed of myself, my personality, my interests, my quirks... It's both sad and relieving when you confirm everything you felt all along were true. It's crushing when you realise you dedicated your whole being to them and there's nothing left for you.

EdgeofTeeth Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 I went through this all throughout my teenage years and into young adulthood. My family just operates on an entirely different wavelength from me (religious views, outlooks on life and the world, you name it) and I never identified with them in any of these major ways. I definitely felt that "you love me because you have to, but you don't actually like me" from them for about a decade, and my relationship with them was very ugly for awhile. I really feel for you. Your family does NOT get to determine your worth, but I know it's still very painful not to have validation from the very people who are supposed to be giving it to you and building you up. Surround yourself with friends who love you for who you are, and they will help you realize how much your family is missing out by not appreciating you and making you feel valued.

dussel_06 Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 I have parents who will vote for BBM. If they love me, they won’t vote for that thief. I have heated conversations with them and at the end of the day, they can’t love me enough yo vote for my queen Leni. And now I have to disown them. I can’t be with someone who will support a person that I hated. And I feel disgusted with other pinklawans who don’t disown their BBM and DDS parents. Yuck.

despy Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 can relate to what you said from start to finish. been feeling this way my whole life. hopefully we'll be able to find that healthy environment that we've always deserved.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harwee Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 (edited) I think with family disagreement, there's a way to keep some distance without fully disowning each other. Just say, "i love you, but I'm living my life." In general. Edited May 6, 2022 by harwee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devin Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Ever since my dad and grandparents passed my fam became strangers; except my mom and some cousins. They began showing they true colors when I wanted to do better for myself than the avg male in my fam. Sometimes I take partial blame cause I grew tired of the antics/bs as I got older.

The situation you are in where you have to battle alone feels so TOUGH, it must be hard for you but I hope you don't get discouraged with fighting for what's right because you are doing an amazing job right now! Hopefully, you have some close trusted friends who you can confide to about this. Cheering for you over here! I just realized I am very VERY fortunate that me and my whole family support the same candidates (Leni & Kiko) after hearing your story! - There are times I wished my parents supported me for something but luckily I have never reached a point where I felt that they had to reject because they despised me. The reason usually comes down to not having enough finances so that's understandable cuz I can also see they are doing their best to provide what I need!

John Slayne Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 can relate to the part where your family are haters, but can't relate to the part where you tried to appease them... i never even tried that, i've been stubborn and independent ever since i can remember Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katara Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Can't relate. My parents were always supportive and we always had a deep bond. My father used to be a bit controlling at times but that's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferret Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 It’s sad tbh but know that there are plenty of people that had the same situation and got over it in life and now they’re happy. It will get better. I feel so lucky to have such supportive parents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
