Strawberry, you're not responsible for his unmet needs so you must believe in yourself and what you know.
Adrian said, One thing Iโd say is that the only people who truly know how your kids feel about you are your kids themselves. Other people's opinions can be incredibly damaging, especially when theyโre spoken as if theyโre facts, when there is no real way for them to know what is in your childrens' hearts.
Adrian is spot on. How can children influence parental relationships even when they themselves are adults? Tricky. They may assume that you know how to fix this when you don't - that's not your fault, either! Don't be afraid to confide in them or imagine that you are burdening them. Older generations didn't share 'personal' matters but we can do things differently with our children.

My mum really only shared adult things with me in her later years. In her final weeks of a sudden decline, she mentioned how much she had adored her own mother. How had I never known something like that? It still baffles me because I would have liked her so much more if I'd had any inkling ๐

She actually said "As you know, I adored my mother". Well, I didn't but that was no time to argue! I decided she must be confusing me with big sister, a whole year older than me who she had always been close to. But none of that mattered and my years in the wilderness ended with bittersweet new memories ๐

Every now and again I think i have a wise idea to try and take me forward in life
Something to look forward too then i realise who am I kidding .
My mind boggles at the ideas i have .
Probably best to just accept things as they are
As the saying goes if its not broke dont fix it .
One wish i do have is for me to hopefully have some time in life were Im not crying as much as I have been doing of late .
Thats not a big thing to wish for or dream for .
All my other dreams can wait a little while longer I think

Being a black sheep of the family makes you feel a bit isolated but then I reminded myself of a time many years ago when another family member also one who was classed as a black sheep actually came to help me with something.
All the time being slated by other members of the family
Them seeing no good in him
There he was helping me .
Just shows we can be slated by those close to us
Yet the ones who are the black sheeps dont do that
They help each other .
I will never forget the kindness they gave that day .
I never said anything bad about them it was others that did .
I think basically what Im trying to say is just because we are classed as black sheep by family it doesnt mean they are right about us
