I hate it when I feel I have a genuine grievance and get no real acknowledgement of it.
But not just that - that happens to many people.
What I really hate is the way I react afterwards.

I build the grievance up into something so massive, so enormous, that I feel the need to bring it into every conversation either with those responsible, or even just those that have already heard my complaint bu to my mind not responded accordingly. I bring it up again and again with obviously diminishing returns and I know I'm now over-reacting and someone at some point will find it necessary to tell me to change the record, but I still genuinely believe in my original complaint and just can't believe I've never received sympathy/ apology/ retribution/ compensation.

I really need to guard against this kind of thing in future.

This post was promptedbecause I brought up the fact my sister never even asked after me when I was in daycare at a mental health facility. Yesterday. It happened two years ago. It's certainly not the first time I've said it, but it really has to be the last. It was NOT my parents' fault and there is nothing they can do about it anyway. I have to learn to drop it before I am told to.
