Did my parents stop caring about me?

Question

I've just come home from eyeball surgery. It's to determine whether or not it's cancerous. I risk losing eyesight, and even the whole eyeball itself. Of course I'm scared to death, but, why in the h**l are my parents just sitting around as if nothing happened? They're even watching this movie I've been wanting to see all month...without me...and all they're worried about right now is why our dumb dog isn't eating. In reaction, I've been crying all day, and they aren't doing jacksh!t about anything.

What is going on?!

Answer 1

ask them

Answer 2

Maybe they are actually very worried, but don't want to let you see. Maybe they think you will be scared if they show any kind of weakness. Have you told them your feelings and how scared you are?  If you do, maybe it will help open them up to talking about it.

Answer 3

for all u know they could have been crying the whole time while u were getting surgery...their probably just trying to get things back to normal as soon as possible by acting like nothing ever happened....don't worry im sure they are worried on the inside...but don't want to make u feel scared like anything else will go wrong...im sure they care....actually im positive they do...and if u feel this way y don't u just ask'em?

Answer 4

no parent are do evrything!  care,love ,emotional problem  for her son　or daugther!most important  than anything is your own  kids,

Answer 5

They might be upset, or finding it hard to cope with what youre going through, it's probably effecting them alot but they won't let it show. Perhaps they are scared of including you in things because their not sure how to deal with being supportive towards you should you need emotional support.

Maybe you should tell them how you feel and explain what youre going through to make it clear that you are feeling this way, they might be waiting for you to talk about it to them rather than them coming to talk to you.

Hope you're ok

Answer 6

that's what parents do we hold our feeling on the inside so our kids don't panic. don't worry they love you and they care jsut let them know how you are feeling.

Answer 7

They are probably worried sick in reality.  I guess they don't want you to feel their worry.  They have to be strong for you and want you get the sense that this is routine everything will be ok.  They definitely have not stopped caring about you.  It is their coping mechanism.  I wish you luck,  try talking to them, let them know you feel you could do with a cuddle and need some reassurance.
