Describing emotionally distant parents? (For my book hehe)

Different Ways to Describe Emotionally Distant Parents

-> feel free to edit and adjust pronouns as you see fit.

It was like they watched her grow up through a foggy window. Some days, they would wipe away the fog with a dirty rag or their hand and they would see each other clearly. Their eyes would meet. Maybe they would even smile and ask how her day was. Other days, the window was so fogged that she forgot they were even there on the other side.

He wasn't sure if he even considered them parents anymore. They were just adults that he lived with.

She didn't know why she even bothered. There was still a longing in her chest that yearned for attention or even an ounce of affection from them. It seemed like her heart would never give up when her mind had lost hope so long ago. Part of her knew they would never really care, but she held onto that hope like a lifeline.

He often wondered if they loved him. Because parents will always say that they do, but he swore he could see a different truth in their eyes. Parents lie to their kids all the time-- Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, the Easter Bunny-- so why would this be any different?

It physically pained her to not scream out, 'Why don't you love me?!' but she knew that she never would. She was afraid to hear the answer. What could they possibly say to make everything okay? Maybe they wouldn't try. She didn't want to hear the truth.

He couldn't remember the last time they celebrated his birthday. Probably when he was young, when his parents still loved each other and they still loved him.

She told herself everyday that they were just busy. That's why they didn't spend time with her. They had very important things to do. More important things than her.

They smiled. They told her they loved her. They hugged her. But it all felt like an act. As if they believed it was just something they were meant to do and they didn't have to mean it.

Hello! I got another request. Can you do prompts where a character is having a breakdown? Maybe they just went through a traumatic event? Or perhaps they're so stressed they can't handle the pressure anymore? Them sobbing in an isolated room. Just having that overwhelming sense of impending hopelessness? Character distancing away from others. Bonus points if the character is normally stoic and apathetic. Sorry if it's a bit too long. I got a bit carried away. I'm just a sucker for these types of prompts. Anyways, I hope you're having an fantastic day today!

Check out my post for how to write a panic attack, I think it might help with this too.

Prompts for a Character Having a Breakdown

-> feel free to edit and adjust pronouns as you see fit.

She couldn't stop sobbing. Hot, desperate tears streaked down her cheeks, blurring her vision. Her head was pounding. She felt like she was dying. What was worse, she didn't know what had caused this pathetic display. She had been packing away all of her emotions for weeks now, leaving them to be dealt with later. Now, they came rushing out of her like an angry flood and it left her a crumpled mess on the floor.

It felt like a dam had burst. He left the room without a single word, ignoring the strange looks he got from his friends as he all but ran down the hallway to the nearest door with a lock. It slammed shut, and as soon as he pressed the lock the rampage of tears came streaking down his face. He couldn't keep up appearances anymore, not when he felt like his world was falling apart. His legs collapsed beneath him and he fell to his knees. A desperate gasp escaped his lips and he pressed his hand over his mouth in an attempt to keep quiet. He couldn't let his friends see how pathetic he was being. What would they think of him?

"Leave me alone!" They screamed, pushing away the only person that seemed to care about them. They didn't care about the consequences, they didn't care that their friend was looking at them as if they had burned them, all they cared about in the moment was that they were falling apart in front of the last person they wanted to see them like this. Their face felt hot, their throat so dry, and their chest squeezing from embarrassment and guilt. "Please," they sobbed. "Please, just go."

"Did you finally confess to your crush for Valentines?"

Stiles glanced up from his book, making eye contact with Derek.

"No. Maybe next year." He responded with a fake smile.

Frowning, Derek was about to question him when Braeden joined them, greeting Derek with a kiss.

'I was too late...' Stiles thought as he saw the lovingly gaze Derek held for his girlfriend.

(The end... lol 😂) (Sorry for the angst... I was planning a happy ending, but, meh. 😅)
