Why is it I feel alone

Question

I have a husband and hobbies and children, but I still feel really alone. I am about to start a job...which I havent worked in a good 7 years. I am not to young 27, but do not consider myself old. I just wonder if other moms feel alone. Almost like I more of an employee then a wife and mom. Just wondering if anyone can relate?

Answer 1

Hi, I just read what you wrote and yes I feel the same way quite often. It's normal to feel the way you are I think. Before I was married and had children I knew who I was and what I wanted in life. When I got married none of that changed until I had children which has always been a dream of mine! A family of my own was something I was for sure that I wanted! I think that a lot of devoted women who are wives and mothers tend to forget about themselves on a day to day basis for some reason. I suppose because they become so involved in providing and taking care of everything a wife/mother should. Plus not working for so long may cause a little bit of stress for you too. I'm guessing that your children are of school age and that's why you are starting to work? If so, that may have something to do with it too. Even though we may get stressed out because someone is always so dependent on us when our children are younger we still have the need to be needed. After awhile that's all we know how to do. I'm sure that you will find yourself again! Maybe you'll find that a job isn't for you right now or maybe the job will help you not feel like you are alone. Good luck!

You need to find a hobby, go on family trips to the mountains, zoo, or somthing.

Answer 4

You're probably feeling alone, because you're perhaps getting too involved with your job? Take some time off to appriciate what you have, and what you have will begin to appriciate you. If you feel there's a problem with your kids or husband, than it's best to take up that kind of issue in a legal office.

Answer 5

my boyfriends sister in law is going through the same thing you are... she feels alone even though she has her family and children... I think its good that you are getting a job....you will become more social and have time for  "yourself"

best wishes!

stay at home moms tend to feel that way.  that's why it is good for them to have friends so they can visit and go for once in a while
