My parents do not call me

Dear friend, I understand that it can be painful when we don't receive the kind of attention and connection that we desire from our loved ones, especially our parents. It is natural to feel hurt and rejected when we don't receive the love and care that we feel we deserve. However, it is important to remember that our parents are also human beings with their own limitations, struggles, and ways of expressing love. Sometimes, they may not be able to communicate or connect with us in the way that we want, due to their own issues or circumstances. It is not a reflection of our worth or value as a person. From a Buddhist perspective, it is helpful to cultivate compassion and understanding towards ourselves and our parents. We can practice seeing them as fellow beings who are also trying their best to navigate this difficult and complex world. We can also practice letting go of our attachment to their approval or validation, and focus on developing our own inner strength, wisdom, and compassion. From a psychological perspective, it can be helpful to explore our own feelings and needs, and communicate them assertively and respectfully to our parents. We can express our desire for more contact and connection, and ask them if there is anything specific that is preventing them from calling us. We can also explore other ways of connecting with them, such as through letters, emails, or visits. As a coach, I would suggest that you take some time to reflect on your own needs and feelings, and practice self-compassion and self-care. It can also be helpful to work with a therapist or coach to process your emotions and develop healthy coping mechanisms. Additionally, you can consider reaching out to your parents with an open and compassionate heart, and explore ways of building a closer relationship with them.
