...See more Hi, 40 years old with a wife and two daughters. My eldest daughter (5 years old) dislikes me and prefer her mum heavily for no particular reason when she turns 2. Tried every single way to bond with her but I realized she will love anyone (even the newly hired domestic helper) except me. My wife literally treats me as transparent. When she shares her things with me occasionally, i will do my best to advise and support her. When i share mine, she usually just brush me off. My youngest is 6 months old, still a baby. Previously, my work is the only place that validates my existence as a human having receiving praises and good feedback. But recently, i received my annual work appraisal that suggested otherwise. I asked and the answer i got is my performance has been good but they have no idea why it turned out this way when it went to top management which is a black box. Now i feel so dejected and lonely with no one to turn to. My family treats me like some transparent reject and i dun have any friends to talk to as i was never one that is popular since i was a kid. I also have trust issue as my wife likes to make fun of my past ever since i shared with her. The sliver lining is that she is the only one i shared it with so there won't be a second person using it as a leverage. She makes me lose the little bit of trust i have with ppl.
