How to Overcome Insignificance or Do YOU?

Here lately fashioned myself as a writer. I feel that depending on the subject. My therapist and myself thought it would be therapeutic. It could also lead to overcoming my fear of writing a novel. I could weigh in and offer my perspective that would be articulate and insightful. I love to discuss politics, especially the blatant disrespect of the POTUS. I can be very passionate about that. But on a lighter topic, I will engage with anyone everything Baltimore Ravens, not from a statistical point of view to validate my points, to conversate as if I could be in the front office or Head Coach. Why certain moves are made when they have consequential effects down the line. I never try to attempt to act as if I am the "smartest in the room", but I would challenge those who instead of a calm debate want to hide behind screen names and use foul language as if one, it would intimidate me and two, make me withdraw and go away. But my main topic I like to write about is my Family. Specifically how now I've become so insignificant, when as long as I am doing something for them either because I feel obligated to them sorta "Quid Pro Quo". I feel as though now because I am unemployed again, my self-confidence is tumbling, I don't feel funny as I did a couple of months ago, my swagger diminished, basically insignifcant. My older nephews and neices at least the ones who I had the opportunity to baby sit or just spend a great deal more time with them have a pretty decent relationship, even now. It's just the interaction with their kids is where the frustration begins. The lack of respect shown by them as a whole is something I never experienced. Lack of manners, cleaning up after themselves and the failure to be held accountable for it. Now this is how our relationship becomes estranged as well because of the lack of boundaries structured as well. This is the generation who feels anything done by them their ideas are original. Please, I see things before they happen. I just let it play out to allow them to get caught up. I've spent over a half-century on this earth, and while that officially puts me as "out of touch" level, I've still proceeded to remain on the proverbial "pulse" of things. I have a saying, that I SPIT(talk), because of 3 simple reasons. 1. I've experienced it. 2. I know someone who has experienced it. And my favorite 3. I researched it. Other than that I keep my thoughts to myself, because then I would be above my level of expertise unless i followed rule #3
