[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Same here. Super jealous. I have talked to my therapist about this many times. I have decided I just can’t be friends with people who are super close to their mentally healthy parents and have a lot of emotional and physical support. I just can’t get past that. Isn’t that sad?[/quote]

I 100% get this. For me it's a combination of the jealousy I feel about their families and their inability to understand basic things about my life. Like I struggle with self esteem and even though I am doing amazingly via therapy and lots of self work, I've had friends who were like "I don't get it, why don't you just assume that you are as good as anyone you might meet. That's what I do." When you try to explain that you've spent most of your life being told you are not a worthwhile person, you can't just snap into a healthy self image like that. It's a daily battle.

So now I limit my interaction with folks like this. I'm happy for them, but it is too painful to try and interact with them.[/quote]
