I feel this hard but about my own family; only-child, no-contact with mum, and dad doesn't know what being a dad means, sigh.
I'm sorry you feel disconnected and alone, it's shitty to feel that no one has your back, that no one cares. It sucks when you just want someone to msg and ask if you're okay, and that doesn't happen. I'm so sorry, it is so isolating. It's hard being the first to message, when you just want them to show you they care.
I might not know you personally, irl, but I care. I wonder where you are when you haven't posted in a while. I know it isn't the same, and I am sorry I can't fix this for you. If i could, I would.
I really appreciate it, I'm an only child as well and I thankfully do have my mum and I'm so sorry your parents aren't there for you.
You're right in what you're saying, I just want someone to message and ask if I'm okay and to not always be there one initiating contact.
Thank you for caring and telling me you care, I needed that.
I care too.
Thank you for telling me that.
