“Boon, after our session, these are the words that I have written down

Sadness. Regret. Remorse. Responsibility. Strength. Silence. Doubt

I am nothing special, I am like 1000’s of others. Maybe that is why this is important.

I am a stay at home mom and a housewife and have given my family the last 20 years of my life. I have worked hard at making their lives better. It isn’t glamourous, it is actually pretty boring. A typical day for me goes like this: make breakfast, pack lunches, get the kids to school, come home, do whatever needs to be done (i.e. laundry, bathrooms, yard work, shopping, pay bills), pick up the kids, take them to music lessons or sports practice, come home, help with homework, make dinner, clean up dishes, visit or play games with the kids, have a glass of wine or a bottle depending on the day and go to bed.

Taking care of a family is hard.

Somewhere, I lost myself. Everyone else’s needs always came first. I am not angry or frustrated by it.

It just happened.

I’m sad that it happened so slowly that I didn’t even notice. I regret I didn’t make myself a priority to myself for all those years. I have been so focused on making everyone around me happy that I have forgotten what makes me happy.

That is terrifying because I don’t know what this is all leading to.”
