"Each time, I mistakenly thought that they would change their ways in order to be in my life. Each time, I realized with shame, horror and humiliation that they would not, and that I apparently wasn’t even worth a conversation."

This rings so true for me, it is like a knife in the heart. The person I loved most in the world did not think I was worth a conversation, and even now 22 years later, still doesn't value having me in his life.

I am so sorry. The pain is deep when it’s your parents but it feels like a whole other level of betrayal to receive this from a former partner.

May you find peace and love.

It's my sibling who chose not to be part of our family.

Ah, I apologize for assuming that the person you love most in the world is a partner. The fact that I couldn’t even imagine a sibling in your comment says more about me than it does you. 🌸
