[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes. I'm a middle child who could have written much of your post. You have a good therapist. Stick to your boundaries and what makes you feel loved and supported. I think you'll likely find that your family will not abandon you...and you may even see them start to make more of a proactive effort. At least my older sister has, though after years of her first telling me I was being selfish when I did things to prioritize my relationship with DH, for example.[/quote] I am an only child and have had the exact same conversations with my therapist. There were a lot of adults in my family and I was not demanding as a child, so I was often overlooked. This strategy has helped my family relationships and my own mental health tremendously.[/quote]
