I have everything most people don’t have.. a house, amazing kids, a car, food, a dog, a good job.. but I feel so alone. My relationship isn’t great and hasn’t been for a long time.. I’m hurt. I’m isolated. I’m lonely. I internalise everything. I’m not acknowledged. I hardly even exist.. the good things I do get pushed aside & ignored and then I’m treated like I don’t do anything.. I go above and beyond ALL the time.. I’m not even half the woman I really am because I just feel like an unsupported waste of space..

Hi! I think most of us are lonely from time to time. The relationship is a problem, because you cant just move out with your kids, I suppose.. Have you considered to look for a part time work or do something for the social area? Here in germany you can "work" in a Kindergarten or at a residence for old people without receiving any money. Just for doing something good. Maybe you have the possibility to do so. In case, that you dont want - or arent allowed - to do so, you could something for you. Write a book or go to the gym to feel healthy and good. You have to try to find something good in your life, because we only have this one life. You can enjoy your house (maybe you like gardening as a hobby), you can enjoy your kids (there are people, who try and try and arent able to have a single one or the child is really ill), you can enjoy that you are healthy (there are many people, who arent). Try to look life from this Perspective. You have to find something in your life, that makes it worth to live.

I hope, I could help you to feel better. Maybe you could also learn something new. Like a new language or a course, that you are interested in.

Why do you stay in the relationship? Why do you internalize everything?
