Trying to understand

Will I have depression and anxiety, am sure it's because of the way I was raised. At the moment for years am the type I put up walls because I don't want to ever get hurt. I have four daughters I have done so much for them but yet I get treated like crap, now it's to the point we don't talk to each other will I have no relationship with them. They try to disrespect so there goes the walls I don't speak to them. But I show no sign that it hurts me, or care. Because again in my head I will not let them hurt me anymore. My holidays are spent in my room by myself but again I show emotions.

Moncarr, Welcome to the support forum.

I think it's good that you let out all your emotions in a safe place

such as this. Building walls around you is not the answer to a happy

and healthy life. We can't change how others behave towards us, even

our own adult children. We do not have control but we do have control in

how we accept their behavior, their disrespect.

When you spend the holidays in your room what kind of emotions are you

displaying? Keep Safe . As you see other posts and responses, you will see

that you are not alone. Families aren't always like Hallmark displays.

I'm glad you took a step forward and joined us. My best to you :) xx

Hi, I’m sorry you’re not getting along and not in speaking terms with your daughters. How could this be with all 4 of them? It sounds you’re not happy about the situation. Why do you have your walls up with your own children? Have you seeked out help, maybe talking to a counselor?
