As a mom, I feel like I exist solely to feed my hungry children, change Squish's diapers, and keep them from killing each other. As a wife, I'm supposed to have a hot dinner ready each night, and keep the house relatively clean. As a business owner, I am supposed to keep my clients happy, no matter what's going on in my life.
But sometimes I feel like no one really SEES me.
Sometimes I feel like I put all the effort into my relationships. That if I stopped communicating, they wouldn't really notice. I send text messages that never get responses. Repeatedly ask questions that would take 30 seconds to answer... but never get an answer. Try to make appointments with no luck.
Sometimes I expect to look in the mirror and see no one there.
I totally relate. Sometimes I feel like I could disappear, and it would take my husband and kids a few days to realize that I was gone. And the only reason they'd notice at all is because they need clean underwear or someone to feed them.
