I’m lacking confidence. I’m under huge amounts of personal stress. My daughter is chronically ill. I spend a lot of time in hospital with her. I balance life for my other daughter, trying to give her as much normality as possible. My dh has had his bad moments, but I think that’s his way of coping. Overall he supports us well and tries his best.
My family haven’t really been there for me. They don’t fully know what I go through. We aren’t that close emotionally and I’ve always been a coper. However this has suddenly become painful. I feel rejected, abandoned and alone as far as they’re concerned. I can see all of this as if I’m looking in on myself. I know I need to feel loved. I wish they could show their love for me, I’d love them to be proud of what I achieve for my daughter. Instead they pick at me.
So I’ve decided..I am the one who needs to turn this around. Instead of waiting and hoping for them to change, start loving me and nurturing me. I need to nurture myself.
So how do I start?? What can I do to make me feel worthwhile and proud of myself??
