[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My biggest resentment regarding a fundamental unfairness is that some people having loving, supportive parents and I did not and do not. It has nothing to do with socioeconomic class -- I just really wish I'd had loving, supportive parents, and I also sometimes feel that people who do have these kinds of families are disdainful of me specifically because I didn't come from that kind of family, and it doubles that feeling of loss. So, yes: resentment.

For me, it has nothing to do with socioeconomic class or wealth. I just wish I'd grown up feeling loved and I think it would make it easier for me to exist. It wouldn't make me rich, it would just make life less painful.[/quote]

I feel this way too. This is what I struggle with. I feel such loss, and shame about it.

Yes, and why is there shame? I did not choose my parents. I don't understand why they had me when they so clearly did not want me. I had no choice in the matter and made the most of it, but yes, I drag it around like a weight all the time, this feeling of being unwanted. It undermines everything I do.[/quote]

I suspect you feel shame because you haven’t truly accepted it’s not your fault and isn’t something you could have changed by being a better kid. [/quote]
