My mum and my siblings are the one supposed to care for me but whenever I ask for help they are not able to support me

I am so sorry you are experiencing that. It can be a tough place to be in when you are reaching out for support from your family and aren't being heard. What kind of support do you need the most right now?

@PeggyMeghan111 You did good reaching out. 

Sometimes, people fail at the responsibilities they are meant to carry, that's on them.

We can't change any man but what we can do is try to find better for ourselves even while endeavoring to understand them the best we can.

I'm here for you if you ever need someone to talk with. You're very brave.

Hey, I know it hurts when the people who should be there for you aren’t, but ask yourself this: are you going to spend your whole life waiting for them to give you the love and support you deserve? Or are you going to give it to yourself? You don’t need to wait for anyone to choose you. Choose yourself. Support yourself. Love yourself. Everything you’re looking for from them, you can build it within you. And once you do, no one can take it away. Start giving yourself the love and understanding you wish you had from others. YOU DESERVE THAT.

@PeggyMeghan111 I am sorry Meghan. It must be extremely hard for you. It’s hard when our loved ones don’t care about us when they should be the first ones to care for us. I hope you find peace and love from others . Please remember blood doesn’t always make us family. Love and care do. In life you will encounter many people who will love you more than your family members. They matter most. I hope you find them. Lots of love for you.

@PeggyMeghan111 i understand how it feels when your mother and siblings who are supposed to take care of you and support you ,doesnt do that. it does feel like emotional neglect . do you have any other people who can take care and support you when you need ?

Hi Peggy this is really sucks 😔

They both are supposed to be there, they can't support you when you asked for help. This is very disappointing.

Don't worry about it, if you want to share a bit what kind of help you are seeking? I'm here if you want to talk or discuss about it.

This reply is a few years later, and I am unsure if you are still in a similar boat, but I just wanted to say that I am so sorry to hear that you have not been supported by those who are meant to be closest to you. It can definitely be a very isolating experience. I hope your situation has turned around, and that your mother and siblings are now more aware and willing to support you properly!
