I feel now that I have been fighting with loneliness frustration not able to feel happy always trying to make others happy especially my parents since childhood. Now I am very disturbed n don't know how to come out of this there are many things which needs time. I have been in boarding since I was in grade 2 now my parents all the communication we have is of finding faults in me. Or teaching me. In front of my two little kids n husband. Which at times become very frustrating. Now I am very depressed n become quite don't feel like talking to anyone. Or get very rude in my behavior I don't even remember when I had laughed. All bad thoughts r coming n at a time see images. Cannot sleep. Not now n than feel like crying. All these r effecting me. N somewhat my kids. Please suggest me how to get rid off of such life.

I am a little confused with yoru profile details where it says that you are a male and of 67 years old! May be there was a mistake. Anyway, it appears that your parents have wanted you away from childhood to send you to a boarding school so early in life. I hope I am wrong and that there were justifiable reasons for thier action. This would have left you feeling unwanted and unloved and that now when you do meet with them periodically, they are very critical of you. You do display classic symptoms of rejection. I suggest that you make home visits with your parents as scarce as possible. You don't want to go to a place where you are not that much wanted, would you? You must take care of yourself and I recommend that you seek some professional help if need be. You must also keep fit physically by exercise and sound sleep, learn some skills about handling your emotions, and get as much love as you can from yoru husband and children. You must learn to accept yourself and to truly love yourself by being kind and good to yourself.
