Do they understand it?

Question

So I guess I'm just moody around my parents. They know more than any action or mood my unconditional love/appreciation. Its just I moved back home two years ago after a bad breakup and tough military training. So I guess i've just been sullen around the house as i work around the clock to keep life going in the right direction. I guess i just feel guilty that instead of showing the appreciation they deserve, i'm just moody and withdrawn around them. I think its something like you can only show the people who love you unconditionally how you really feel. Because i can charm and chat with anyone that i need to. but its just a mood that comes out when being with them. like i'm irritated, although my heart knows the only reason i'm around is because they keep me. Do they understand it?

Answer 1

My son is the same way with me and his dad. I know he loves us, but it does hurt my feelings when he is so rude to us.
My son moved out at a young age, had a child with his girlfriend, broke up and he got custody of his son.
He then moved back home with his son for a year.
He moved out again in April. I know he loves us.
But cant help thinking that we are only good for him when he needs something from us. I will always be there for him no matter what.

Just try your best to let you parents know that you love them and care about them. Tell them you appreciate all that they have done for you. Those words will go a long way. I Promise.

Your so right... We can be ourselves around people (Parents) that we truly love and they will always love us back.
Since you are having troubles being Moody and withdrawn, you need to work on your self. I know you are not Happy with the way your life has gone. Do what it takes to be Happy.
