I have had the same kind of experience. People, family, claiming that they would be here for me, but when it was time to step up, where no where to be seen.
I was called over sensitive , I was called dramatic, I was called crazy. I was called those things to shut me up.
Eventually, I did "shut up" by shutting them out. NC. Has been my path to peace. It's been over two years now, and it's been a difficult journey, but my soul is healing.
I am hyper vigilant about letting people get close to me, but once I weeded out the toxic people, I began to listen to my instincts and forge healthier relationships. I spend a lot of time in therapy. I have to be my own mother.
It's sad, really sad, when you can't count on the people you're supposed to trust, when they belittle your problems. I'm sorry this happened to you. You are not alone. ((Hug))
