Welcome back, good to see you again.
Relationships are very difficult,
Sometimes I feel it is better to focus on the actions that we enjoy
The ones we want most to appreciate us, rarely will.
It can make us really crazy when we believe we deserve their
acceptance.
We do not have to agree with people but everyone needs to be felt "heard" by someone.
It is a bit sad that we tend to become addicted to people who do not accept us. Praise from anyone else is not worth as much.
Really, that underlying "need" to be validated is our own.
Nobody can take that away, no matter how much love they offer.
Only we can let go of the "feeling" that there is something missing.
Peace be with you.
