I do because my parents never really hugged me much or said i love you to me. I always tell them i love them but they never tell me they love me. I bought a house and moved away now they never call me and when i call them they never have time to talk to me and promise to call me back but never do. I don't think i've ever heard my dad say 1 nice thing to me. I could say if i died tomorrow i really don't know if my parents would care but i still love them with all my heart and always will..My parents always ignored me as a kid now that i'm an adult it only got worse...I'm dying inside wanting to still get their approval by striving so hard but i never seem to be good enough for them.

I know that my parents love me. It's just tough to believe that my dad really does love me when he chose alcohol over me and my brother. Maybe it's just how kids think. My mother on the other hand, I know she loves me. She never says it though. She has a tough time expressing herself emotionally. It all goes back to how she was raised. My grandmother was in a residential school, never exposed to love and affection. She had kids and didn't love them or show them affection. It's hard to express your emotions when you weren't allowed and beat for doing so as a child. So it's a cycle of emotional neglect thats happening with my family and a lot of other First Nation familys. I just wish my mom would hug me and reply when I tell her that I love her. I suppose with my family we take "tough love" to a whole new level. The love is there, but many times we need to hear it from our parents. Hugs feel so foreign to me, and any sort of affection. Another reason why I feel so "unloved" is because my mother is so loving with my brother. I'm the youngest child, I always thought I was suppose to be the one getting the most attention. She yells through the house, "I didn't get my hug today" I always sit up and hope that she comes into my room saying that to me, but its never for me. What makes me feel more unloved is when she says "You didn't give me a hug today" when me and my brother are both standing there, and she hugs him completely ignoring my existence. She hugs me when I leave for somewhere far, I think so that she won't have to live with the regret if I die. I guess this is why I feel unloved, which can easily be fixed with a few hugs, and "I love you" from my mom.

Yep,I have felt this way since I was like 14. It seems all my parents have ever cared for is my older sister and younger sister.
When I turned 15 I pretty much stopped talking to my family and seeing them, I would go to a friends house right from school and stay out till bed time which was 11pm so I never really saw them, I would see my older sister in the halls at school every now and then but never said anything to her and once in a while I would see my mom or dad in the morning before I went to school but said nothing to them.
At 16 I got pregnant and things really got bad, my parents were threatening me and once I had the baby they started threatening me anymore saying if I ever tried to leave they would take my son from me and they acted as if my son was theres and I got in a few fist fights with my mom because I would try to walk out with my son and she would take me and start hitting me.
I am now 20 and I still live with my parents but I have nothing to do with them, I do not even call them my parents I call them by there names because to me there not parents

My husband does. He was the "black sheep" of the family. He was the 3rd son, just before a girl, followed by 2 more boys. He didn't receive gifts from his aunt or grandfather. He was neglected. His parents never cared. They only wanted him around for money & that's all they keep coming back for. They serve no purpose in his life, except as leaches & therefore has limited contact with them.

No, my parents show me they love me all the time. They dress me up in little dresses and touch me all over.
