11 Honest Signs Your Parents Might Not Love You The Right Way
Our parents are supposed to love us no matter what, but sometimes, they don't love us at all.
Everyone knows how difficult family life can be at times, but does the way your family acts make you wonder whether they genuinely care about you? It's excruciatingly terrible to feel that your family ignores you, doesn't respect you, or doesn't love you.
If you're worried about being unlovable, more than often, it's not about you — it's about your parents.
Parents who are overly preoccupied with themselves can never grasp what their children are going through.
Perhaps you feel like the family outcast, constantly in the wrong. You might even start to think you were raised by narcissists who don't care about you or your life.

Some parents might be incapable of love. They don't love anyone, including themselves.
So, if you're constantly asking yourself if your parents love you, it may be time to let go of them.
Try communicating and creating boundaries. Don't compare your parents with someone else's. And, most importantly, contact someone or get help if it gets mentally taxing.
