I'm 19 and female. I only remember seeing my father once before he died. I've always felt neglected through out my life. My mom wasn't very much a good mother to me but she made it look like it because she "provided" for me. But in reality I turned out to be a clingy low self esteem anti social creature. I feel like an empty shell with no sense of depth who's whole point to be alive is to suffer. I love my boyfriend greatly and eventually we thought about having kids but I'll most likely be jealous of my own child. I've never really had much love. My own mom would call the cops on me because I was "misbehaving" when there was one situation when she was choking me against the dresser while she was pregnant in the 2nd trimester.. She told the cops I was attacking her. My family has been calling the cops on me every since I was 12. 2 years after my dad died. Total of around 8 times to this date. I've even been sent to the mental ward multiple times due to the emotional neglect. I now suffer from extreme social anxiety to the point where I pretty much hate being on public. I'm currently jobless so I'm forced to continue living with my mom because no one wants to fuc..ng hire me regardless of my resume. So in the mean time, I'm stuck here. My boyfriend tells me to keep my head up and he is probably the only reason I haven't slit my wrists yet. I just feel so unimportant and worthless. I have so much pain in my soul that I can't even fit into this post. But here is the real story. If I have a baby I don't want to have a girl because I WILL be jealous of the father daughter relationship. Is it because I never had a father of my own so I don't understand the importance of it? Or is it because I love my boyfriend so deeply that I don't even want to share him with our own kids? If you read this whole thing I'm glad you did I just needed to vent my frustration.
