Wishing star,
I really understand, that is the way my childhood was too. In fact accomplishment would only get me more abuse, so I hid it.
It makes me angry that some parents are such poopy heads. They should value their children, not ignore them or treat them like objects.
I know my T would say something to the effect that I need to value my accomplishments within myself because that is where they count the most. But soemtimes you just want validation that you are okay and it is hard to get that by yourself.
It saddens me that your parents having called you or anything, that much hurt so much. Shame on them! You are wonderful caring women, and if they can't appreciate that, they don't deserve you.
Independence is a great step in life, and I am happy you are doing well. Hold your head up high!
About the boyfriend, could he feel threatened that you are becoming so dependent?
