I Gave Up Everything for My Family—Now I Feel Like a Ghost 👻

Every morning in our cozy Seattle home, I wake up before everyone else. I make breakfast, pack lunches, and get my son ready for school, but it feels like I’m just part of the furniture—only noticed when something’s wrong. My husband barely glances at me unless he’s pointing out what I forgot or messed up. I used to dream of being the perfect wife and mom, but somewhere along the way, I lost myself. I haven’t worked full-time since my son was born, and the thought of starting over in a new city, away from my family, terrifies me. My son is finally happy at his school, and I don’t want to uproot him, but I can’t help but wonder: When did I become invisible in my own life? Have you ever felt like you’re just going through the motions for everyone else? How did you find the courage to put yourself first again? Please share your stories—I need to know I’m not alone. 💬 #MarriageStruggles #FeelingInvisible #FamilyLife #FamilyRelationships
