I lost my Dad when i was 10 years old and I grew up with my step Dad, I feel no family love because my mom didn’t show me any love, instead she channeled all the love and affection to my other siblings.

Lord knows you’re preaching to the choir. I don’t know the last time I felt family love big part of the ones I knew are dead or distance, literally just me and my to girls. It a struggle everyday especially in those occasions you need family I but what can we I tried the make your on family but after while there eventually show you blood is thicker than water. Now god and my children are my family I know he won’t forsake me that makes me feel love.

Sounds really bad, but you should also check deep within you if you are doing the right things to attract the love and affection from your mom.

This is heavy but I hope all goes well and you get it right
I appreciate this
I can most definitely relate to you. My parents are both gone and what I have left would be considered a very big family. I have 5 sisters and 2 brothers, but they don’t support my lifestyle or me for that matter. I’ve tried earlier in life in trying to be close, but ever since my parents passed away in 1999 and 2001, our foundation had fallen and they all went their separate ways. I’m the youngest sibling and I feel robbed of having a family. I haven’t seen 1 brother in almost 20 years, my other brother and 1 of my sisters in 12 years. I have since given up of having a relationship with them. I am, however very lucky to have my best friend’s, Rafael, Trish and Jason in my life. I consider them more my family than my own siblings. I used to be so jealous when I saw a close family interact. I always wondered if it is just me that they don’t want a relationship with…they all see to get along together, except with me. I am not sad, just disappointed. I have some nieces and nephews that I have never met. That seems crazy as we all live so close to each other with the exception of 1 sister in Iowa and 1 brother in California. Crazy. ~ g
