I’ve been with my husband for 17 years. We have 3 wonderful children that I adore. We have normal daily struggles, but overall- 2 good jobs and a routine that works. I feel no joy in life…. I believe happiness is unattainable and being content is the extent of what I can imagine happiness is. I feel alone and guilty for feeling alone since I know my family loves me. I feel unseen and not considered. No one cares my days start at 5am and end at 11pm. It’s like my husband doesn’t believe me that I’m so exhausted because he is ‘also tired’. I feel like the kids are always against me because I am the rule keeper in the house. I work full time (50 hrs/week) plus keep the house running (as best I can) with little to no help from the only other adult in my life. I keep trying to explain to my husband that I need more support from him (since he gets to literally go to work and home) but I just get reassured with promises and no action. I don’t know how long I can continue but I love my family
