I have been married 28 years, have two children 19 and 14, and I know it is my fault for letting things get to this level...but I get up in the morning and my husband doesn't even acknowledge me. He'll go up to bed at night and not say goodnight. My kids just expect me to "do and do". I just feel I don't matter anymore to my family as long as I do my function--cook, shop, run errands, work outside my home without talking about it at home because no one cares. I feel more alone at home. It isn't that I am disrespected, it is just that I just exist and it makes me feel so sad. When I address my feelings with them--they are sincerely confused and think I just have too much pressure from my work which is making me feel like this!!
I'm sure it is just a passing phase, but does anyone else have this problem and what do you do to "pick yourself up"?
