Is there once in your life you experience the feeling of not being wanted or needed? It is not a good feeling, right? In fact it is the most devastating of all human reactions. It happens on me once in my life during my childhood but i will not based the story to me as i already cope with that. I want to site situation that certainly happens to a girl who said she had been unwanted ever since birth.Someone had given her the notion that she is an unwanted child. The idea sunk into her subconscious. It made her shy and backward. She became lonely and unhappy and was in fact an underdeveloped personality. The idea gives her the profound sense of inferiority and self depreciation. So in this case What do you think is the cure for her condition? How can you help her?

She needs to understand that it is not a problem with her it is a problem with her parents. They may not have been ready to have children and they may NEVER be ready for children (some people never are).
She needs to find things she is good at and get feedback from people outside her family that she is a worthwhile person.

please don't dare to put an end to your life just because you feel unwanted. Still be grateful of what little you think you have, because in God's love you have the greatest gift, that is worth living! :)

That is a feeling that is very difficult to over come, my mother told me when I was 14 that when she found out he was pregant with me she tried to kill me (abort in a natural way) She told me that she regrets that and she would not give me up for the world now but she admitted that she was scared, she was only 19, and 2 states away from home. Now I over look it, but at 14 that made me feel very unwanted so I pulled away from her and everyone else that up until that point had been my whole life, I leaned more on my boyfriend from that time up until I was 16 when I was pregnant with our son and found out that he was cheating on me with a 14 year old. That is never a good situation to be in, especially with your parents and family. I still have trouble sometimes feeling like me husband doesn't want me and I feel that it is derived from those feelings and thoughts that I had before.

if im the parent of that child, i would give her the love and support that she really needs. and i would not let her feel unwanted. even though that is how she feels.
if im a friend of that unwanted child, i have to listen to her sentiments as much as i could and give her the proper advice that she needs.
when i was young, i felt unwanted too. my older siblings made me do those things that they don't wanna do. like when my grandmother got sick and they didn't wanna visit. they made me go instead. and a lot of things too that i just don't wanna say. anyways, now, my family adores me and sees me as the life of our family (I think!?!)(I hope!)
as to your question, there might be a cure or there might not be. It depends on the child on how she handles the pressure. time will know if she can stand it...

I think for a Mother , Nothing can be like Unwanted Child ... If however that is there ... then i also could have given all the Love and Affection that he/she deserves ... without realizing him/her that its an Unwanted Child .... throughtout life...

I think since the parents don't want her,Just let some people who really want a child to adopt her.And she will be happy as their "new" parents will love her.And she will slowly become a normal person with a pleasant personality.

As for me, no single child is unwanted. Life is a gift from God. If I were that girl, I will certainly be proud being the child of God, and not being the child of that particular parent who made her feel so small and unwanted.

The best we can do with this Girl , is to give all the affection that she needs ... if not gathered from her Parents/ grandparents ... then from husband may be ....
And moreover , She must do some Job ... and can really benefitted from that as she will get damn good friends out there ...
I just wanna say that Life doesnt stops ... and on the way through your life .. u get introduced to infinite number of people... so search for the love there

I think she needs proffessional counselling as such deep rooted belief takes time to resolve and it will be hard for her to do so on her own as well as for her partner too. SHe needs to go and get some counselling for her and parents hould be involved in this situation. May be not in begining but definately as treatment prgresses.

Yes there is as I was an unwanted Child and My Mum at the time certainly let me know that as often as she could lol
She regrets it now but believe me being an unwanted Child is not the nicest of feelings
I get on great with my Mum now as I will not hold it against her, you only have one Mum. And she has regreted it

Yes my own father I know what it is like but after 8 years of not hearing from him or seeing him I moved on and it hurt the must because I have 2 sons that still will refer to him as pap, it really hurts me that soemone that should love you no matter what can abandon you for another woman but I have now just face the facts and yes it will alway hurt but I have left it go and moved on. don't get me wrong after years of being depressed that my own father don't want anything to do with me.

that is so sad.i do not think their is a cure for her condition.feeling unwanted messed this girl up.I would bring her to counseling.i would also be there for this little girl she needs someone she needs to feel wanted this is sad for a child to feel like she has been unwanted since birth who would do this what kind of monster would make a child feel this way.it just breaks my heart to see this girl in so much pain and think she is unwanted.

just give her the notion that she is not unwanted. give her words of encouragement hence building up her self esteem.

if incase your a good friend of that girl you have cited, i bet you should make her feel the love and appreciation she's craving so that she might not feel unease nor unloved.
show her how pretty she is, inspite the notion that she's unwanted.likewise, the feeling that she's important to all.
through that, she will forget the unwanted things about her.
