if your family members like siblings cousins aunts (not parents) love you but then when you are in need or at least in need once in a blue moon, they are not there. but you would help them in a heart beat, or even faster if you could. i dont get people in this world sometimes, maybe they are mad at something, i dont know.. but i had some family who knew i was in pain at a time in my life and needed help. no one gave a crap man, how i am supposed to just go back around them and be like oh were a family again like my mom tells to do when they were yelling at me like they are crazy.

if people respect you and love you so much then where is the love ?

What was the issue? Maybe they were showing tough love. Being indifferent & not caring at all is a sign that they don't love you but if they are showing strong emotions like anger & yelling at you, doesn't it mean they care enough to see you might be doing something wrong & they want to save you?

tough love? i dont think so, they would not help me if i got kicked out or if i needed something to help myself. they would not do anything, my sisters literally would do nothing at all for me even when i was in need. if they knew what i needed they would not help me, i had a mental illness problem and i was alone man alone at the WRONG TIME

Were you seeking treatment for your issues? If not, then they were probably right not to help you because it would only have enabled you to continue to be in denial about your problems.

I would help my sisters/family if they were in a bind, of course. But, if they demonstrate over and over again that they can't make good choices then at some point my help is going to stop. That doesn't mean I no longer care, but that I need to set some healthy boundaries. Luckily, I haven't had to deal with that personally.

I dunno. Maybe you were uncooperative or they felt you wouldn't stick to your program and medicine needed to get back to a healthier you. Maybe you had abused their trust too many times.

Well, now you know. You can't depend on them... find someone you can depend on.

I hear that. I helped one of my sisters through the darkest time of her life, when her son died. I was there the night he died, and in the tough months that followed. I made time for her when she needed, left her alone with her thoughts she needed, and kept an eye out for her well-being. Was also there when Hurricane Sandy left her without power and water. When she couldn't find a job, I revamped her resume and she got a whole string of interviews from it, and eventually a job. Over the years I listened to her woes over men, money, work, her kids, her ex-husband, her health, on and on and on.

The one time I ever asked for help, in what was arguably the darkest, most despairing time of my life, when I was completely alone? She said I was weak and deserved everything that was happening to me.

If I ever see that C U Next Tuesday again, I will spit right in her face.

Those and many more.

Most people are ill-equipped to deal with mental illness. You should not hold that against them.

I agree!
I have no comment. Sure there are variables I don't know about...
No love there that I can see!


AND this is my 6000th post, I just noticed....haha.

Perhaps they need you to stand on your own two feet for a change, instead of leaning on them all the time. I notice you seem to go job-to-job. Maybe they are tired of being your "fall-back" all the time.
