Lack of support

7 replies

SofaSurfer20 · 15/02/2019 08:27

I'm absolutely sick of the lack of support from my 'family'. They need anything, I'm there. Support daily with anything they need but I need something, a few words of encouragement maybe and I get given harsh nasty words and told I'm in a mood.

Maybe I fucking am, maybe it would be nice to have someone to talk to who just fucking listens and shows some kind of support. Haha.

Just got off phone to my mother who decided she doesn't want to see me today because she says I'm in a bad mood. No, I'm fucking upset!.

I'm trying to better myself and partner was complaining about the cost. Not that he's paying it, I am out of my own wages. Though just last night he was saying I need to do something for me. Soon as it fucking comes to it though, get ridiculed.

Sick of it.

I know how you feel! I'm not allowed to get angry or upset, I'm just 'being emotional' or overreacting again apparently.
I just keep my mouth shut these days and avoid saying anything beyond surface stuff.
It makes me sad that that's the way it is but I haven't found a way to change it yet.
Wish I had a solution for you
Hugs

It pisses me off because if I have an emotion other than happy, other people get annoyed either me!

I've turned my phone off and told family not to bother me today

I'm not dealing with people today, they can't support me, don't expect it from me. Easy x

Your DP doesn't sound very supportive either.
What's the deal with that?
Why is he querying the cost when you are paying anyway?

@SofaSurfer20
I know! I don't blame you for turning your phone off.
I mentioned to DM who is a medical professional (on my birthday, just to make it that little bit more hurtful) that I was having problems with my neck and shoulders aching. I got told it's because I'm 'so overweight'! I'm a size 16 and 5ft6 so certainly not small but it's not like I'm morbidly obese!
It has been like that my whole life, too fat/too thin and everything always somehow relates back to my weight.
I've given up, I can't even get upset about it anymore

When they ask for help, just say you can't as you don't want to come over as they're in a bad mood...

I know exactly how you feel! Me and my brother were discussing this just last night after I lost it with my mum. I'm having some health issues surrounding my pregnancy and I'm having a section at 34 weeks. Every consultant or midwife I speak to only ever gives me the negative information. One consultant even said I can't guarantee you will bring your daughter home at the end of this. Obviously this has all been very upsetting me for, not to mention I have to go in to hospital for upto 6 weeks leaving my other children which is tearing me apart.
I put one post on Facebook saying I was scared and upset and my mother comes round having a go at me saying if I stopped reading shit on the Internet I wouldn't be scaring myself (no it's professionals scaring me) that back when she was expecting me they only got one scan so you never knew if there was a problem and told I needed to get over myself and stop acting like a baby!
This is the same woman who when I was diagnosed with depression told me I was doing it for attention and if I wanted to be happy I would be
