Suppose a bit of a hand hold post really
had major surgery 4 weeks ago,12 week recovery time. Hubby has been amazing doing everything round the house and very supportive even though he’s working full time.2 oldest kids don’t live at home both live about 3 hours away both very early 20s one has called me twice and barley texts only if he wants password for Amazon ect then I get a How are you as what feels like a second thought. The other one is on the phone all the time but it’s always about him.
youngest still at home but just a typical 15 year old.
mother in law has text me twice in 4 weeks.
my mum is an odd one and it always is about her in some way, told me to keep quite about my surgery to the last min so I didn’t upset another family member who is waiting for surgery.
only really got one friend and she has text now and again.
doing college part time, but tutor not answering my emails.
ive always tried to be kind and helpful, send thoughtful gifts when someone is down, made a stew when people are ill and took it round ect, sent kids loads of stuff to let them know I’m thinking of them. But most of all I’ve always given people my time. I’ve tried telling people I’m a bit fed up but it appears to be falling on deaf ears. Feel like what I thought my family was….isnt if that makes sense.
I know you shouldn’t do it to receive, but not had a card or anything off anyone, finding it a hard pill to swallow.
like I say just feeling a bit sorry for myself.

Feeling lonely and under appreciated is hard.

Tell your husband how you feel, maybe he can give you some emotional support. When you’re better get yourself out there by trying a new club or soemthing meet new people.

your kids are at that age where they’re in that self absorbed age but they should realise - maybe husband needs to have a word with them just to give you a bit more thought.

There are so many selfish people these days, only thinking about themselves.
It's shit.

I hope you make a speedy recovery Flowers
