Hi Jonice, I have just read ‘Running on Empty’ and there are a few references to your website to download worksheets on various subjects. I cannot find them on your website, could you direct me please?

I have dealt with the feeling on loneliness my entire life, going all the way back to childhood. It’s an empty feeling that I can’t seem to shake even during the happiest times of my life. I know this feeling is rooted in my upbringing. Both of my parents were emotionally unavailable and treated my emotions as something to be dismissed and not important. On top of that, my mom could be emotionally abusive too. I felt trapped in a household were my talents were overlooked but my shortcomings were highlighted. My CEN has impacted every part of my life. I struggle with depression and anxiety and despite having friends, the feeling of isolation and feeling different never escapes me. By all accounts, I have a close relationship with my parents. But secretly, I harbor resentment towards them for so much. They have never acknowledged any wrong doing and I think they feel like they were enough. They weren’t. Who they are as grandparents are completely different as to who they were as parents. I struggle with that because I feel like people wouldn’t understand how that is possible. Of course I’m happy that they are involved and loving grandparents, and it’s not a jealous thing, but rather a feeling of others thinking I’m making all of this up.

I’m 3rd of 4 girls in my family. My mother tended to focus on first and last child. When my mother talked to me, she usually didn’t tell the truth. Even later she would say she didn’t remember, even why I wouldn’t use my leg as an infant- toddler. I would like to know more information CEN on my siblings.
