  • We all know family life can be tough at times but does the way your family behaves leave you questioning whether they even care about you?
    Feeling like your family ignores you, doesn’t respect you, or even like your family doesn’t love you, is incredibly painful.
    Maybe you feel like the black sheep of the family and always in the wrong.
    Perhaps you feel like no matter what you do it is never good enough.
    You may even feel like you’ve been raised by narcissists who aren’t interested in you or your life at all.
    Although you might feel like your family doesn’t care, it’s never usually that simple.
    There are steps you can take right now to improve family ties - so you no longer feel like a victim over how they behave.
    In this video, we’ll run through 5 telltale signs that your family doesn’t care about you and how to deal with it.

    This video is definitely the story of the invisible child in a narcissistic family. I can relate. It took me 34 years to realize I’m not the problem, it’s them.

      Same with me. It took 40 years of trying to be close with my siblings and being called needy, pathetic (when getting upset about the rejection) and unsympathetic to they’re woes and excuses. Im done now. The well has dried up. Im gonna give myself the love they never did.

      Well we do tend to get problems due our childhood. Emotionally unavailable or narcissists, their behaviours have affected us and we have to deal with the aftermath as perhaps those around us too. Trying to function but barley function. Original sin must be this, takes two generations to rid the generational traumas. Took me 40 to realize dynamics, my life is sad and lonely if someone takes an interest in me I get suspicious. Trusting none and doesn't deserve genuine love or care from any human, so many years wasted I was just 25 and now life is soon gone. Don't make the same mistakes as I did. Try be happy, misery brings you nowhere.

    My in laws are ridiculous. I don't have a family of my own and they were my last hope at having one. Ever since I came around they treated me differently. They kept me at arms length, they never want to hang out, they never want to get to know me personally, they dont seem intrested in my career, no matter what attempts I make they just don't care. Then, a year ago my husband's brother brings home a girl and she's like Jesus himself joined the family. They're super enthralled with her, drive 2 hours away to her house to see her when I live 10 mins away, take time to see her family when they havent talked to my mom since my wedding, they get to know her culture and the other language she speaks but wont even attempt any languages I know, they were super supportive of her career but mine is just ok, and the conversation with her is always flowing but talking to me is like walking on eggshells even though ive never given the impression no one could ask me something or just chat. I'm so confused why this happened because we're both pretty similar personality wise. She is more of buttkisser but I still try to seem intrigued when they show me things. I've never done anything inappropriate or rude towards the parents. They just don't like me and even the girl who I've tried to make friends with wants nothing to do with me. I've only met her a handful of times and every times she only talks to the family but never me, I wasn't invited to be in her bridal party but all the other sisters were, I wasn't invited to the dress fitting, I never get responses to my texts. Now me and my husband are moving across country and the in laws are freaking out and trying all these toxic things to get us to stay here which confused me so much because they haven't cared about anything we're doing until we announced we were moving. They claim to care and that we're family too but they've never show it. This has left me feeling exhausted and hurt, wondering what's wrong with me and why I don't deserve love. I'm always wondering what does this new girl have that I couldn't bring to the table. Why am I undeserving of love. All I want is a family I can be myself around and a safe place where we can support each other. I'm broken watching everyone elses family be close and loving.

      I think your in-laws and husband does not have a close relationship, there may be some bad memories exists between them. There is nothing wrong with you, you being the wife of your husband makes them dislike you I think. Don't worry about them, you can have kids and make family of your own.

    My family (specifically my grandma) does not like me or my siblings just because of my mom. My mom is the eldest daughter and I don't know much about their history together. I grew up being treated so poorly by my grandma and seeing my other cousins be treated so well. Her deep hatred goes so far she even dislikes the children we have made. She treats my nieces and nephew so bad. It breaks my heart. I've gotten use to it and just accepted that she will never like us for no reason. The reason I'm bringing it up now is because my mom gave birth to my older brother when she was 17. He was the first grandchild. He was treated very well and was raised by both my mom and grandma. He recently passed away & I found out that he apologized to one of my siblings for him being treated differently then us. It broke me to pieces. I didn't think anyone would ever acknowledge this but my older brother did. I'm not sure how to go about it. I can't stop thinking about it. Something I thought didn't bother anyone but us turned out he was living with that guilt the entire time he was alive. Can anyone help me understand and accept that maybe I did care that my grandma hates me and my siblings. That my brother possible didn't live with the guilt of being treated well compared to us. I don't know what to do.

    • @e.thereal
      @e.thereal Před rokem +1

      Sorry for your loss, please don't focus on the negative because even if he lived with guilt (whom doesn't) it hopefully didn't consume him. You will meet him one day again and can ask him then, try to live a good peaceful life and carry his legacy on by adapting one of his traits that you feel are honorable.
      Family dynamics (especially toxic ones) do affect us all so ofc you cared and care since it continues to affect you and the next generation. Whomever is chosen as "favorite" doesn't usually like that role and they feel very guilty about it, they seldom address this because they don't want to point it out that the rest is unpreferred or worse. Keep on moving, pray, accept your grandma probably wont change and that is her cross to wear. Try to correct the path that is wrong for the next generation and don't let negativity ruin your soul. Peace be with you.

    Forgive but no reason to forget, family members will disrespect you over and over again and it will be up to you to break the cycle. Walk away if it happens often .Apologize even when you were not in the wrong. Visit family members because you want to see them do not take score because that will be hurting yourself. I am taking a break from my family , they hurt me deeply and never apologize. I am always in the "wrong" I live a very stable life I am a single Mom who without help takes care of her child. I have inherited 4 mental illnesses/disorders and have received no support from my family. I work hard at keeping healthy and stable and I am. I have driven myself to and from Hospitals after operations due to no one in my family being available , never mind the care afterwards, as well as psyc hospitals because well I felt that no one was there to help me. I should have not told them about the disorders because their concern is not sincere. I must fit into their box. I need to do what is right for me and taking a time out from the family is the best thing for me right now.

Stop making victims belive they have to change so they will not be abused. The only thing the victim can do is ro distance themselves from the toxicfamily.

    2:20 I deal with this on my dad’s side of my family. My dad was never there for me when he was living and I never got invited to events unless it’s a funeral. I stopped trying to hang with my older half siblings and even potential friends because I get tired of being the only one reaching out. Each time I make plans for us to hang out they find an excuse as to why they can’t. I get tired of dealing with one sided people. That’s why I like to go places ALONE and I’m good by my damn self.

    My dad's side of the family hated my mom because she came from a poor family and she used to be a maid regardless of being so hardworking and attaining her bachelor's it never changed their attitude towards her , on the other side I don't think that my dad was close to his siblings , I never saw them visiting us at our home neither did they ever call the only time I would talk to them is if I passed my primary and highschool exams which I never did only my two sisters did because they were smart in books I was soo hurt by this . Then in 2015 we had family reunions and it felt so awkward because all the other cousins were so close with each other and I didn't fit in till today . Everytime I go for this gatherings I just feel so hurtttt they have been occuring for 7 years and I no longer feel comfortable to go there I hate being there .... I hate belonging to that family I really do I just wish my dad was intentional with making us closer with them , he's such an emotionally unavailable dad . All this hurts so much it really hurts

    My mother constantly reminds me every other day she wished she aborted me but my father who died young wanted me. My brother is the favorite although the is also abusive and they both are physically abusive, drugged me not leave them.. they enjoy when they are miserable when I cry. I try so hard not to be a victim. I have a new relationship and I’m just afraid to love someone who is showing me true love and blessings.. I’m afraid he will turn into the people I love the most that .. we just changed.. here I am treated most likely like their foreign maid .. also I have white skin but my mother is dark. I can’t control it. My father was white but he is dead so I’m constantly reminded that I don’t really “belong” and my mother constantly says racist things to me about my skin. Whatever, I’m white butbits my mother it still hurts whatever color my skin is.

      It is not your little sister that is the problem, it is your parents whom need to learn to share their attention between you two. If you still a kid try to speak up so they understand this hurts you and if they don't get it find positive role models (that are not predators or other evildoers). Did they even initially inform you that you were to get a little sister and what that means and so forth? Perhaps they still see her as a baby to spoil. Don't be jealous of your sister, it's not her fault. One day she can be your best friend if you put aside the fact she is favored. Sorry to say but some parents are either ignorant or just try do their best but don't understand how their actions/none actions affect their children.

    These tips are bad already for a healthy relationship yet the reason why people feel their families don't care about them is they're dysfunctional so you can't apply healthy people's rule book like just initiate contact more cuz if the family member(s) cancel or flake on you no matter how many new dates and times you set up if they're breaking 99.9% of them then you're still not a priority for them and return to square 1. And if you're using some of your tips on dysfunctional families all you'll do for yourself is create an addiction as you're chasing them, they're your drug or the emotions you're getting even if painful and unbearable are the addition themselves.

Also none of that advice really resolves the issue of not being cared about. If i forgive and forget, then i'll still be not cared about, and just eternally forgiving and forgetting it while still being hurt by it. It just sounds like advice on how to pretend its not as bad as it is and abandon your desire to be treated well

    I stop sending invites to my kid’s birthdays bc it was always a let down from my adopted mother. I finally stopped reaching out and just sent a card telling her my mental state of mind is not good. She decided to let her granddaughter read it (it was for only her to read. That same granddaughter was the one who told me about it and now she herself has left my adopted mother and her mother because of their toxic ways) so I’ve learned to keep my distance and stay in my own lane. Even so I still get talked about and it’s not for the good.
    I just block my adopted sister bc she never reached out but would be orbiting me. The same granddaughter (her niece) ask her if they could visit my baby daughter and my adopted sister told her she didn’t want to and doesn’t care. Mind you the same granddaughter had cut her off too smh.
    That was all it took for me to have finally blocked her was when she said she didn’t care. If you don’t care then don’t be orbiting me on social media 😒
