Do you ever feel like your parents don't really love you?

Neglect and other types of abuse just means that I am loved the most!

I'm sure they love me. We're just really disconnected. Me and my mom live in the same house but I only see her like once a week and we mostly communicate through the occasional terse text message or sticky note.

See narcissistic parents. And do read about it. Don't assume you know.

Thank me later.

My dad won't answer my phone calls.

Yes, I'm almost certain my dad has given up on me. My mom I'm not sure.

>>35895273
They love me. In their own retarded way, but they do.

>>35896482
"cuz when i call, you never pick up your phone, i'd like to talk to you
but you dont answer"

I think my father stopped caring about me long ago.

Right around the time you couldn't be trusted with keeping "secrets"?

I feel very loved

why do i feel like my parents are so oblivious to the thought of me being depressed, you would probably say to me "but anon they do know youre depressed". no seriously how do so many parents happen to get children who spend all day in their room and have never seen friends over yet they dont do anything differently or everything seems fine to them

>>35895273
Parents love me, but show it in abusive and controlling ways. It's like they like the idea of me, and of me fulfilling their dreams and desires of being an accomplished, proud, married and successful son, but they don't really care about my thoughts and feelings.

I would say they treat me like an extension of themselves.

Ahhh well, mum's now got early-onset Alzheimers and Dad's mind is pretty fucked after the 25 years of alcoholism. Me, Imma just live for my hobbies and be fine working some low stress job at a supermarket or whatever.

yes. my mom.
I think she thinks she loves me but shes a really shallow and self-centered person. like a child.

she had a booze-benzo addiction when I was a child and was very neglectful.
at age 17 she basically dropped off of the face of the planet and I would only see her a couple times a month while I lived in her house.
she basically lived with some guy I never met and when I moved out I didn't see her for another 2 years.

I'm just a fucking resume for them to brag about to their friends. i got that a long time ago.

>>35895273
yeah, but oh well, they let me leech off them

>>35895273
havent spoken to either of them in a year

In their own weird ways that aren't really enough yeah.

I feel like they love me superficially but than when its time to step up and show real love its suprising absent.

You ever have parents that coddle you and tell you they love you a lot but then don't actually raise or parent you when the the time comes? My parents never actually taught me anything or did real parenting so I grew up being heavily influenced by media such as internet and TV.

this right here
mom is narcisistic and retarded, she will call me non stop, show up at my door and ring the bell for half an hour, bother my family about the fact that i dont want to see her and fucking stalk me, promise me money and shit
but as soon as i forgive her she doesnt fucking care, also she doesnt appologize or admit any wrong doing and she thinks thats ok, sometimes i think she convinces herself things didnt happen
Thank god im done with that shit and this time im really done, im not angry, sad, anything. I dont think about her at all until someone brings her up
Why does she even want to see me now? she spent most of my childhood running away from me

>>35895273
I think they have accepted that I am a failure and just wait for their death so they can be free.

They love me enough to to force me to buy a house that is only 2 blocks away so they can come with out knocking to my house and steal my sugar.
But they love me even if they are a bit control freaks some times and curse alot.

No. But I feel like they must telling themselves every day, "anon's doing just fine, he's just a bit tired today", or, "when he finishes his degree his life will get better." "It's just a temporary thing, he'll move out eventually"

That is saddening to me

>>35898317
Because they think is normal in you therefore healthy. They are used to my behaviour but other won't accept it and reject them since they no is not normal

I do, and I love them as well. Wouldn't trade my family for anything in the world.

When I was in the car with my brothers and parents my father outright said he loves her more than me and my brother.

>Do you ever feel like your parents don't really love you?
I think they stopped after I gave up on life and got on disability, the smiling boy who loved running around outside and wanted to become a geologist growing up is dead gone, what remains is someone you'd never want to admit you birthed into this world

Fuck I haven't talked to them in maybe 3 years... I wonder if my siblings ever think about there fuck up of a brother

Well that'll scar a kid.
