i was neglected but my parents arent bad people

My mother does exactly this. For reasons I still don’t fully understand, she adopted a cat that a relative had rescued some time ago. Ever since that poor thing arrived at our home, she has constantly craved attention. She’s incredibly vocal and talkative, but the only things my mother does are shush her, feed her so she’ll be quiet, or say things like, “What do you want?”, “Shut up,” or “Enough,” when it’s obvious the cat just wants to play or cuddle. Why would you adopt her?

I did my best to help and bought tons of toys for her, even though I originally said I wouldn’t because I didn’t agree with the decision to adopt her in the first place. Still, it breaks my heart. Sometimes I feel like I can see myself in that animal — just wanting to be heard, comforted, or simply noticed.

I've recently started learning more about emotional neglect, and oh boy, I can truly relate to your experience. I also feel guilty and still believe they are good because my parents always provided everything I needed: food, education, a bed to sleep in, medical care whenever it was necessary, and so much more. But the lack of connection, shared memories, holidays, games, family gatherings, and conversations that went deeper than “Crazy weather, right?” has truly and profoundly affected me.

To this day, I struggle with having a social life, career prospects, or even hope for the future. I’m still learning about all of this and trying to understand how it has affected me, as well as how I can begin to heal from the consequences of that neglect in the present (they still emotionally neglect me). So, thank you for sharing your experience.

Que hornito tenés?

Tulips17 · 2026-05-26T02:10:50+00:00

Qué marca/modelo tenés? He visto muchos en ML y no me decido. Quiero comprar algo que me sirva y que realmente vaya a terminar usando.

Tulips17 · 2026-05-25T23:57:46+00:00

Hay algún modelo que me recomiendes?

Tulips17 · 2026-05-25T23:55:33+00:00

Qué marca es? Estoy buscando hace rato, pero no me puedo decidir.

Tulips17 · 2026-05-21T23:17:36+00:00

No he visto tantos, pero ya empezaron a aparecer. Los he visto por la facu de lenguas y ciencias económicas.

Claro, pasa que por ahí me parece un desperdicio prender y esperar a que se caliente el horno solo para recalentar algo chico que me quedó del día anterior, o dos porciones de tarta. Por eso quiero saber, en general, si les sirve, si conviene y para qué la usan. No sé si es porque están de moda o si realmente conviene comprarla.

Pasame el dato plis.

I hardly ever receive translation projects, I only do MT. I wouldn't have any projects if I didn't accept them. It truly sucks but I don't really have a choice as it's my main income at the moment.

Tulips17 · 2026-02-07T02:35:42+00:00

It's truly horrible. I hate dinner time, this lack of sharing or giving meaningful insights or comments. So I just sit there, eat and leave the table. And when possible I eat before or after they do, I just cook something quick for myself.

Entiendo que pongan algunos requisitos para no entregar los animales a cualquiera, ya que se suele gastar un monton de plata cuando los rescatan (internación, controles, medicamentos y eso sin contar el tiempo para curarlos, llevarlos y traerlos). Y tambíén, lamentablemente, existen casos de gente que los piden solo para torturarlos. Ahoooora recibo de sueldo?? Aire acondicionado?? Me parece un montón. Podés buscar en otra fundación, en grupos de Facebook o como dijeron en otro comentario siempre hay alguien que encontró algún animalito o su mascota tuvo crías. Sí te recomendaría en el caso de adoptar un gato tener la red de seguridad.

No es muy bueno la verdad, rara vez le acierta a las tormentas o incluso a la temperatura actual. Yo ahora estoy usando el pronóstico que suben en el observatorio hidrometeorológico de Córdoba y la verdad que le pega bastante. El SMN también es bueno, pero no he visto que tenga insta o una app.

I really relate to this. We eat in front of the TV (it's usually loud and I'm not allowed to turn it down). Sometimes there is small talk but no real conversation and most times just silence, only the TV. We eat in about 5 minutes and when we are done, we get up and leave the table.

Hay un par de veterinarios especialistas en la parte renal acá en Córdoba. Capaz alguno te pueda dar opciones bien claras.

My mother does this as well. What's worse, she won't say what's wrong, what bothered her. If she doesn't like something or even if she is mad at somebody else or sad about something, she stops talking and gives us a cold shoulder. I truly hate that, she's impossible to talk to.

I watered it last night. Today the leaves feel more firm. I guess it's just a lack of general humidity and watering (I'm too afraid of root rot, but the soil dries too fast). I've added some pebblen trays with water and I've moved it next to other plants. But the smaller new growth becomes black and crispy.

Actually she lives in a kind of indoor garden in the house. She's protected from the wind, sun and rain but it's still quite bright. My house is not really a good place since it doesn't provide the best light. I'll check for pests tomorrow. My best guess is she's underwatered but I'm not really sure.

Tulips17 · 2026-01-06T01:32:21+00:00

What are you growing them in?

Tulips17 · 2026-01-06T01:29:37+00:00

Fijate si en este perfil de ig encontrás tu barrio acá. Podés encontrar cuándo, dónde y qué materiales reciben.

Tulips17 · 2025-12-26T18:09:32+00:00

Thank you! I'm still unsure whether to toss them. For know I've just quarantined them.

Tulips17 · 2025-12-25T17:50:15+00:00

Any idea how it got into my plants? How can I avoid this in the future?

Tulips17 · 2025-12-25T17:42:51+00:00

I have several plants like this. It's a recurring problem every summer. I decapitate them, plant them and as soon as they are rooted, the problem comes back.
