This year end has been a mountain of disappointments, one after another. I do not expect nor ask for much, maybe that is my downfall, since I believe to be a very caring and giving person, and again, I do it out of love but it has come to a point where the people I love the most and I respect the most have disappointed me and it hurts bad to a point that I am feeling depressed and I do not want to feel that way.
Just to give you an idea; family (children) does not appreciate all I do for them with great sacrifice, they just take me for granted, no matter if they see me sad or happy, does not make any difference to them. At work, I showed up with a little present for all 4 girls, this is my first Christmas at that job, they exchanged gifts among them and I did not get anything from them. My boss mentioned about giving me a bonus for Christmas and he ignored me completely and I was counting on that bonus to get some presents for my teenage sons. I can go on and on, and again, it hurts because I do not deserve this treatment.
Should these disappointments of life make me a less caring and sacrificial person in the future? This way, maybe I won't feel disappointed
