I was abandoned from a young age, and I was abandoned twice. I really hate my biological parents. By Anonymous | Published on December 18, 2024

I was abandoned since childhood, and now I am living in a poor and incomplete family. I have depression, which was diagnosed by the hospital. I contacted my biological parents before and thought they would help me get medical treatment properly, but who knew that the relationship soured halfway through.

I was abandoned by them twice. It's ridiculous to say that if something doesn't work, just go back to the beginning. They don't even realize it. They think I had a good life before, that they liked the previous family of three too much, and that I destroyed their original life.

Don't they know that they are the ones who have brought me 26 years of mental shackles? For 26 years, they have been happy and have lived a happy life without any qualms, while the pain has always been mine.

Now the relationship is back to square one. You continue to live happily as a family of three at the origin, while I suffer alone with depression at the origin. This is what they call "back to square one"? They live a happy life of abundance, leaving the heavy part to me to bear. This really makes me want to die, to take revenge once and for all. Why should they be able to live so happily as a family of three? Have they ever thought about how a girl without a mother who is dragging depression around will live in the future? She can't even live a normal life now. How will she get married in the future, start a family and raise children? What will she do alone?

Hello, Jia Ao here. I'm not looking for anything in particular.

I'm sorry to hear about your sad experience. I can tell from your words that you're feeling pretty sad and grieved. Just from reading "abandoned" and "abandoned twice," it's not hard to imagine how sad and helpless you must feel right now. Let me give you a hug from afar.

Yes, I can really relate to you because what you've been through is what I've been through since I was a kid. You and I are in the same boat. Unlike other people, I was abandoned by my biological parents, and then I got the love and care of my biological parents back. I am also like you in that it is as if I were "abandoned twice" because after we were reunited, I didn't feel the care and love of my loved ones. What I felt more was selfish demands. So I can especially understand your current helplessness. Kids who were abandoned since they were young actually have a special sense of insecurity inside and are most likely to lack love. The love that others can easily get is really, really hard for us to get. Obviously, we are particularly easy to satisfy; we just want to truly enjoy the love of our father and mother like other kids, but there is simply no way to achieve this. So, I fully understand the sadness and grief you are experiencing. You long for them to truly love you, but they blame you for ruining their previously peaceful and happy lives and want to return your relationship to the original state. I don't know what they are thinking. What I see is their selfishness and indifference. They have just built their so-called happiness and peace on top of your pain. I really feel for you. Let's chat a little.

Let's just have a quick chat.

1. [Don't set the bar too high]

I don't know what your family's current situation is like, but now that you've been diagnosed with depression, it's really important to focus on getting yourself in a good mental state as soon as possible. The more hope you have for your biological parents, the greater the disappointment will be. Since they are taking this attitude now, complaining and being sad won't change anything. Wouldn't it make you feel better not to have expectations?

2. [Be determined to be yourself]

Your current family is where you grow up. No matter what the circumstances are, you can still be happy with them.

If your biological parents don't want to be bothered, why should you force it? Not all parents are responsible. Some give birth but don't raise their kids. They just want to keep the family of three happy. This shows they don't acknowledge you. Seeing their attitude, you should live a good life. Don't lose your mind, fight for yourself, and don't take revenge. This will only make you more lost. Hatred will distort your mind. Try to live a better life and make them regret abandoning you. I did, and I'm proof it works. You can't pretend the past didn't hurt. If you don't want to forgive easily, don't. If you don't want to reconcile casually, don't. Just be yourself.

3. Take responsibility for your own life.

What about the future? How will you live your life? How will you get married, start a family, and have children? What should you do? You'll have to work hard and learn these things as you go along. As long as you have confidence, perseverance, and are willing to work hard to achieve the life you want, this is more important than anything else. Your life is your own, and you are only responsible for your own life. Your destiny is also in your own hands. Just think about it this way.

4. [Love yourself well]

No matter what the future holds or what your biological parents' attitude towards you is, you must first learn to love yourself, take care of your emotions and feelings, be determined to be yourself, live your life, and live the life you truly want. Be kind, have faith in yourself, believe that you deserve more beautiful people and things, and believe that you deserve to be loved by more people. Come on, the bad things will eventually pass, and everything will be fine.

I hope this helps. Best regards, [Name]

Hello! I'll give you a hug.

You feel the pain of being abandoned as a child. You feel unloved and unwanted.

Dealing with depression, you need your biological parents to support you. But you were abandoned, so you feel hurt, angry, and like you don't deserve love.

We can't choose our family of origin or parents, but we can try to accept them better. Accepting ourselves means accepting our family of origin and parents, even if they don't know how to love us or cause us harm.

When we know what part of the trauma we want to get rid of and we're ready to learn and grow to do it, we can cut off the trauma in the original family.

To change, we must accept what has happened. If we don't accept it, we'll keep repeating it. We must accept that we haven't been treated kindly and that we can't expect others to treat us kindly. Then we can learn to treat ourselves kindly. We don't need to forgive or seek revenge. We just need to accept those who have hurt us. Affirming and accepting them is what has hurt us. Then we can repair the wounds through our own efforts.

Good day.

From your question, I can see that your parents may have abandoned you to some extent, which could have caused a lot of trauma and made you depressed. I can see your anger and helplessness towards your parents, and I can understand your feelings.

It is generally understood that a qualified parent must first recognize their own problems and then take steps to address them. If they are not aware of them, it may indicate a need for further development in their parenting abilities. Children may also make mistakes in raising them due to a lack of parenting.

It seems that, because they lack the ability to love their children, they are also unable to love themselves or their children.

If I might offer a suggestion,

(1) It might be helpful to recognize the limitations of parental thinking and consider that they may not be qualified parents.

Many people believe that being a good parent is simply a matter of dealing with illness. However, it's important to recognize that being a good parent also requires learning and growth. Some people may enter the role of parent before they have fully completed the role of self. This can make it challenging for them to raise their children effectively.

(2) Consider learning to take responsibility for yourself and love yourself.

Given that you are already in your 20s, you have developed the characteristics of self-reliance and can understand that we are only our parents' children. Although we may have some illnesses because of our parents, we can also take care of ourselves, learn to be independent, learn to grow up, and take responsibility for ourselves. After all, no one can be responsible for us all the time.

(3) It may be helpful to seek professional assistance.

If you feel you are unable to adjust yourself, you may wish to consider seeking help from a professional, such as a counselor or psychologist. Through psychological adjustment and medication, you may find you can gradually improve your situation.

(4) Consider adjusting your mentality. We all live our own lives.

While parents bear some responsibility for our upbringing, and we may not always understand their actions, we ultimately decide how to live our lives. Each of us is responsible for our own destiny. Once they have raised us, parents may no longer be able to influence our decisions, so it is up to us to take control of our lives.

I hope you can find it within yourself to adjust your mentality, actively cooperate with treatment, learn to take care of yourself, love yourself well, learn to grow up and become independent, believe that you can slowly come out of it, and believe that you can slowly get better.

I wish you the best.

Ross Jackson A life of diligence is a life well - lived.

I can't imagine how painful and unjust it feels to be in your shoes. It's heartbreaking that the people who should have been there for you turned their backs on you when you needed them most. The fact that they seem to overlook the impact of their actions and continue with their lives adds salt to the wound. It's hard not to feel angry and hurt when faced with such neglect.

The struggle you're enduring is immense, and it's unfair that you've had to carry this burden alone for so long. It's important to remember that your worth isn't defined by the way others treat you. You deserve love and support, and it's okay to seek help from professionals or trusted individuals who can provide the care you need during this tough time.

Timothy Jackson The beauty of time is in its unpredictability.

It's understandable to feel a deep sense of betrayal and isolation. The world can seem very cold when those closest to you fail to offer the support you desperately need. But there are people out there who will understand and want to help. Try to reach out to someone who can listen and provide guidance as you navigate through these challenges.

Feeling like you've been cast aside by your own family must be incredibly disheartening. While I wish I could change the past and make things right, what matters now is finding a way forward. Focus on yourself and the healing process. You're allowed to grieve and feel upset about the situation. Surround yourself with positive influences and consider seeking therapy to work through these feelings.
