What may be preventing them from giving you the support you need? Maybe they're busy, maybe they are not in the right state of mind to help others, maybe they don't know what you need, etc. Are you able to find support elsewhere in the mean time while you figure this out? Come take a chat with an experienced listener if you'd like to discuss this issue with someone :)

Often more than not, the people closest to us may fail to exceed our expectations of them. But, we tend to forget that even family are their own individuals and so perhaps there may be a miscommunication in the needs you may have at a certain time. I feel that transparency even with family members that you would expect to 'sense' your needs, should be openly expressed. Sometimes simply asking for assistance and support, while challenging it may be, can be the most fruitful action for yourself.

Families can be tough critics as they may not see certain situations from your point of view. If you have asked for support and have been rejected, perhaps placing yourself into the hands of a friend or someone you can trust to help you through your time can be beneficial. Regardless of what your family does, you deserve the support and respect you need and do not have to go through things alone! Perhaps once you are a bit more secure with your situation, you can try to explain to your family what you needed and why you needed it again.

There could be a lot of reasons why your family is not supporting you. Just like there’s something on other side of curtain, we never know to whole situation. What parents are thinking, what are their concerns. Everyone’s preceptive is different they are thinking with a very broad image. Yeah they can be working too. No doubt. But you can also put your point in front of them and talk about your concerns. Pros and cons show them these to ur parents. I’m sure they’ll support you, they just need a clear image about your steps. Maybe you can show them those.
