[QUOTE="Lothlorien, post: 71462, member: 1024"] I know you feel that you need to have a relationship with them. I'm sure the rejection is very hard to deal with. I can understand your pain somewhat. I don't claim to be or lived in a similar situation, but there are SOME similarities and I understand where you are coming from. Is gettng close to your husbands parents possible? Are you close to any of your elderly neigbors? Perhaps finding a surrogate family would help with your needs of needing that bond, but I doubt you'll get the bond with your parents. You should certainly entertain some counseling so that you can get past this and forgive. If you don't forgive, it will continue to eat at you. You have gone out of your way to get attention from your parents, but keep getting pushed away. Stop punishing yourself and stay away from them. I'm sorry this is causing you so much pain and turmoil in your life. To answer your question....there are many people out there that should not be parents. I know of quite a few, personally. [/QUOTE]
