I'm glad to read that your relationships have improved.
And the reason you're alive is because you're spiritually strong enough to realize that suicide is the coward's way out. I know that there is life after death, so whatever hell you're in when you die, that's where you'll go after you leave the body. I know Earth is the perfect place to resolve it here and now.
There is one book I read that was truly excellent in regards to emotional neglect... Running on empty (Amazon link below)
https://www.amazon.com/Running-Empty-Overcome-Childhood-Emotional-ebook/dp/B009VJ4B4C/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1536410826&sr=8-1&keywords=running+on+empty
What I learned from this book was f***ing mindblowing (excuse the language).
the one powerful thing I learned was the we are more affected by the things we DIDN'T get than the things we did get!
So, technically, being constantly abused by your parents is "better" for the child than the parents "not being there" or "not being around". In other words, the critical factor is attention. I know that sounds amazing, but this was the case for most of the author's clients.
There is the old English saying "the sins of Omission are greater than the sins of Commission" which means the same as the bold sentence I mentioned above.
I think you would love this book, and it may even make you cry with sheer joy of finally being able to relate and see what was missing, like I did.
I would whole-heatedly recommend it.
Please keep in touch and let us know how you're doing.
And as estrangedjane suggested, please get at least some form of professional help for therapy. Please!
You are fortunate to be in treatment with a therapist who understands CEN. If they haven't mentioned reparenting you might bring that up as a way to give yourself the nurturing that you missed as a child:

A way to be less at the mercy of your emotions is a mindfulness technique. One would practice viewing thoughts and emotions as passing events rather than getting caught up in them. This book covers several methods for doing that (from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy):

Again be grateful that you're in a position to resolve this and go on to a successful, happy life.
