    I think I have grown really distant from everyone in my family.  I never thought I would ever feel this way, but I’m. And it just doesn’t get better but worse.

    Hello N_m72,

    Would you be willing to share a few more details?  Are you young and single, and referring to your family of origin (mom, dad, siblings)?  Are you married, with children?

    Dear N_m72:

    You wrote: “I have grown really distant from everyone in my family”- from your parents, correct?

    Young children naturally feel very close to their parents, to the parent most present in their young lives. As a matter of fact, there is no mental/emotional separation between the child and the present parent, from the child’s perspective.

    Did any one or both of your parents reject you somehow during the years, repeatedly, until such point that you no longer want to get hurt by trying, once again, to reach out to them?
