i have had a neglected childhood. my parents loved me I guess but I cannot say this for sure.
this has scarred my life.
later, a man claimed to love me, he would make sure he choose the right flavour of ice cream that I liked, he would gift me things that he said he choose investing a lot of time, it felt as if he cared for me. I never asked for gift in fact I find it difficult to accept gifts. He would always have a thought behind his gifts.
at the same time, (there were some things that happened on his end which caused me pain) he rejected my pain when I told him I was hurt, he blamed me that I simply didn't get over things, and remained stuck to it and caused problems. he would have a 'reason' for everything that had hurt me. he blamed me for not understanding the circumstances and reasons.
when did I judge the person wrong? when I felt he loved me or when in the paragraph above? was I projecting my past childhood experience and ruining everything for him and myself too?
I am unable to describe everything clearly right now, but with this that I could write please help me gain clarity.
Thanks
