Thanks Dad

It’s really hurtful when you try to have a relationship with someone who makes you feel like you hold no value in their lives. They’re always too busy for you, never go out of their way to see you, call you only when it’s convenient for them. I’m so tired. Long gone are the days of me being a people pleaser and trying to get everyone to like me. Sad to have to set such firm boundaries with my own family.

Hello doingmybest2017,

It sucks when you have to make those boundaries especially with family. You have to put yourself first sometimes tho, that's something I am learning now in my walk of life. It hurts but as long as you know your making the right decision things will get better.

It does suck that you even have to take these steps but I’m so done trying to force myself in my fathers life when his actions just show me I’m not important to him. I’m grateful to have a Dad but I feel like our relationship isn’t there and it’s hurting me more to try to keep a relationship with him. I just feel stuck.

I'm going through this now..I want to do things but it means leaving my parents..we don't get along ive tried to get along but I just can't anymore, it's toxic for me.. im scared of the guilt trip that will come leaving them..I'm not sure if I'm doing the right or wrong thing..I just don't know.. glad you found the strength and hope it leads you to happier life..

What do you mean by leaving your parents?
