My name is Jenny and I'm a married mother of three. I've been neglecting my own needs for so long now that I feel like I'm losing myself completely in the process of caring for my family. My husband has always been busy with work, so it's fallen on me to handle most of the household duties - cooking meals, cleaning the house, taking care of the kids... you name it. It's a lot of responsibility and sometimes feels overwhelming.
I used to be more outgoing before I got married and had kids, but now I feel like I've lost my sense of self entirely. My husband is really supportive when he does get home from work, but most days he's so exhausted that we barely even talk anymore. It's been hard on our relationship and sometimes I wonder if it's even worth trying to reconnect.
I'm a very shy person in general, which doesn't help matters because I find it really difficult to express myself or communicate my needs clearly with my husband. Sometimes I feel like I'm just a mother and a wife, but I want to remember who I used to be before all of this responsibility fell on me. It's hard to know how to get back in touch with that person again though.
