Well, I mean I am almost 30 so I don’t really need “parents” but I have suppressed the loneliness that comes from emotionally neglectful parents my whole life. My mom is there but she doesn’t ask about how I’m doing and we really have no close relationship except talking about the weather and my dad and I just don’t talk. If I text him he will respond and we will exchange like three text messages and then not talk to each other for a year. There is just nothing deep and bonding there.

I guess it just effects me. I think it’s what fuels my addictions that I’m trying to break so when I try to get healthier all these horrible feelings come back. I just feel like as a woman in her late 20’s I could have really benefited from having a dad that cared and a mom that wasn’t so self absorbed. Just kind of a hard night. That and my boyfriend got mad at me. Since he’s the only one I am close to when he’s mad at me I feel like the whole world is mad at me. 😔
