Do you feel loved by your parents?

Post Reply New Topic

In a misguided sort of way.

I know he does, but he doesn't seem to know how to show it.

My mother was an enigma, and never talked much about stuff that interested.. well... Anyone. Actually in looking at it... I think she might have been an Aspie, though she wouldn't believe me if I said so. Looking at it, her almost refusal to be social... I dunno.. It's wierd. She had this fixation on Disco and 80s music and was known to listen to the absolute exact same song multiple times in a row.

Yes, my parents are the best. I feel bad that there are people out there that aren't as lucky.

Yes, Aaylissa, I am pretty certain. I have lots of problems, but social interaction isn't one of them I work with people for a living, and am really good at it.

This is very sad. You seem to me to be a loveable person, though of course one can never be absolutely certain; you may not be entirely certain about me for that matter. To have such an erratic mother must indeed be traumatic.

To answer the topic question for myself, I feel loved by both parents, though I may not always have felt this. You seem to have been dealt so many unfair blows by life. Do you feel loved by friends (including on Wrong Planet)?

my mother only loves whatever image she creates in her head, but shes incapable of loving an individual. i once told her she loves her son, but not me, and she gave no respons, cause she know's it is true.

my dad loves me for that bit of me he concluded exists (which it does), but he's a fool. he's an "i love you but" person, and usually that "but" is followed by something that really put you down, oftenly its "but you should be more like your sister". but at least he does know what to appreciate me for

my stepdad cares about me in his own special way, but i couldnt care less, i resent that airheaded nonperson.

there are few persons that affect me at all, and i decide who they are. im cursed with the ability to percieve things for what they are, and empty love does not affect me.

is it like, she doesnt openly prohibit you going out, but in some way, pressures you not to? what is it?

I don't feel loved when I get yelled at all the time.

Yes, I do. There was a time when I did feel unloved, but it had nothing to do with my parents. I felt nobody could love someone with as many flaws as I once had. I regret that, because of bullying suffered at school, I turned into a person I didn't like. I couldn't imagine why anyone else would, either. My mother stuck by me, even the times I probably deserved it least. I was not a really easy person to love. I believe I am very different today.

When I read these posts, I realize how lucky I really am. I have grown up to realize that I created some of my own problems.

My mother was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia. I don't remember having any relationship with her when she lived.

Mother: At times I feel like she does yet most of the time I feel she does not. She learned to accept how I am while on the other hand my father has not.

Father: He hates me. A lot. He is convinced that I am gay for some odd, unfathomable reason.

I'm very sure both parents love me.

They say it, and I believe it.

my mother, bless her heart-is the most wonderful person on the planet. She has helped me threw so much and cares for me deeply, my dad...he loves me but never tries to make an effort to even talk to me-always on the computer he is-talking to other people...
from the moment he gets home to the moment he goes to bed 9which is like at 1:30) it's all he does...sometimes he won't even eat dinner with us...
I feel so distant from him that it's come to the point where I just don't want him to come near me half the time they both love me but only my mom really shows it...about once every month or so my dad will hug me and tell me he loves me and how he doesn't show it enough

My mother says she loves me, but I've never felt it much from her and have focused a lot on the abuse I received from her.

My father, I believed loved me, but left when I was 12 and never came back so I doubt he really loved me.

It's sad when you get parents who aren't there for you to love you unconditionally. I wish I had been blessed with parents like some of your's who seem to love you.

Both my parents love me so much!

My mother disappeared for quite a while when I was young and when she was in my life, she made very bad decisions due to her bipolar (she says). But these past three years we have been living together and I feel she is trying to make up for the past.

My father is very silent and we rarely see eachother or talk. I don't know if he loves me.

They are both extremely successful, educated people and I know I am not what they had in mind for a daughter.
