Sharing Our Innermost Thoughts

One of my childhood nightmares was to live with with emotionally unaware parents who did not tune into my kind of needs and completely bulldozed over them. A large part of my existence was just trying to get heard and not been given a secondary treatment. A frustrated, neglected child, when faced with an unrelenting ,emotionally uncaring parent will feel cornered. The parent refusing to be gentle with the child instead begins a quarrel session which only ends in the child combusting into angry tears or leaving the situation and storming into the bathroom, and then crying. Cherry on the cake is that more often, the parent, even though knowing of what they has done, is not remorseful and goes on about their day. Hi, I am that child, even today, struggling to make myself feel safe and loved and okay while crying my eyes out. My parents werent horrible people but their lack of presence while being overtly invasive and emotionally neglectful still horribly impacts me to this day.
