I've had this overwhelming feeling all of my life that I have never felt like I'm wanted and that my family and friends just toss me aside like I dont matter. I find that I'm always the one who makes the phone calls to keep in touch with my family and friends. If I dont call then I dont hear from them. I volunteer my time in my community coaching High School kids in sport and even with the people I'm associated with in this sport, they only call when they need something from me. Im never included in anything and often have to ask to be included, never invited.
I'm married with children and even with my wife and kids, I feel like I'm not important in my wife's life. She makes no effort for my birthday and father's day, often forgets and remembers late at night. She treats it like it's just another ordinary day in my life. Where as I make it a major event for her. My parents are both alcoholics and I was never a priority in their life either.
How do I overcome these feelings and believe I'm important to someone?
