Posted by Anonymous on 2020/12/20 under Life When I tell you that I’m down, upset and unhappy you seem to feed off of my suffering. The words you reply are always that I should stay in these unpleasant places or situations. I’ve never felt that you cared. I’ve never felt that either of you have ever cared about me truly. You love me I know but my well-being, happiness, safety, emotional support and mental health has never been an obligation to you. I still find myself hurting after our conversations but that’s as far as I allow your words or advice to be in my head and life. I understand that you are not perfect even though I see you differently. I guess that’s where I mess up. You may try in your own way and I’m thankful for that. I’m sure I’ll stumble and fail in areas as a parent. I just wish you didn’t laugh at my misery or suffering. Or I didn’t hear that sound of happiness in your voice when I tell you about my lows.
