Acceptance

I think your okay, rosenoir - Just find new friends, who make the effort, next time..

I have to accept I cant make my daughter better and all the well meaning supplements and gadgets in the world wont make any difference to her health.

I find that difficult to do because it feels like giving up hope .

.

I have nearly accepted that my fairly boring expectations of what this stage of my life would be like just aren't going to be met!!

I have to accept that my daughter in law will never like or contact me, thankfully this does not bother me - her loss.

I too accept that I have family I don't want to ever have a relationship with because of their behaviour. I didn't really accept it till quite recently when I had to stand up for myself and my decision. I accept that I have things to do to improve me after being emotionally abused for most of my life too and I release my family as the cause so I can take responsibility for myself x

Yes, I think there could be someone somewhere posting that they felt unloved because they used to have a close friend who suddenly stopped calling or getting in touch.

Unless you have been trying to make contact and getting ignored, I would maybe give it another try? You could always tell people that you had been hoping to hear from them, and see what they say.

I have had many painful losses in my life, particularly professionally and in health terms in the last 12 months.
Mostly I have accepted the circumstances and work hard to stay on an even keel, emotionally.

I have a small but lovely family and a small group of good friends... so achieving emotional balance and a healthy life are my current goals. My success varies ....

rosenoir I don't think this means you are not liked. It is just that people get used to someone else taking the initiative and can't seem to do it themselves.

I did that once, with a very good friend. We were close, in contact a lot. I stopped ringing and never heard from her again.

I have come to accept that I am not well liked.

I have always been the one that contacted friends and siblings to arrange meetings or just for a chat, always seemed to go well.

Just out of interest a few months ago I stopped contacting people to see if anyone phoned me. They have not.

I have come to accept I can't walk for miles like I used to be able to, so won't be able to have a dog again unless it was a very old rescue one!
