I have a lot of issues but I’m comfortable and working on them and have people to relate to. But within the last year my father has told me he wants nothing to do with me. I can’t see my siblings or him. And everyone says his loss and forget about him. And to “get over it” essentially. But I can’t. I can’t get over the fact that my own father doesn’t love me. Simply because he has a new family. Can anyone here relate? I’m in my 20s and an adult. But I feel like a child when it comes to this.

I can't relate and I am sorry that you are going through this. Don't let anyone tell you how you should feel. You are a unique person and your feelings are unique to you. I wish you well as you continue forward in your situation. Rick

I was disowned more times than I can count. It was especially hard when around other families, or holidays alone. I learned family is not blood it's ppl in your life who stand by you no matter what. Those are the ones who did more and were there more than any kin. Also they don't judge and accept you for who you are. As hard as it is, you too need to move on and find a real family. praying 🙏

I moved back to my home state to be around my family again, mostly my mom, after 17 years. I went through an abusive marriage, he took my boys and next I barely made it through JM. I went home broken. The thought of being around my family again seemed like it was going to be safe and healing. My mom turned into this mean and hateful person. I would cry after she would scream at me. The last thing she said was to never contact her again.

I'm sorry you have to experience what it feels like to have a parent say those things and act that way. I don't have any advice sadly. I am still feeling empty and alone from losing my mom. I don't know yet what will help these feelings.
