You are right - I need to find my identity outside motherhood.<br /><br />Yes, I am learning to keep things to myself. Or to rather write things down in a journal to make sense of it instead of sharing it with the wrong people.<br /><br />Thanks again<br />Z<br />xoxoSavouring mommy momentshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14876646609784614786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7729522385953309500.post-88220715228070323392013-02-18T01:17:48.355-08:002013-02-18T01:17:48.355-08:00I kind of understand what you're going through...I kind of understand what you're going through. I work full time and hardly ever get a chance to blow dry my hair but just recently I told my husband that I feel like I don't have a life. My life revolves around my son and seeing to everything except myself. But I have no friends or hobbies to take up my free time or keep myself involved in something for myself. <br /><br />Now that I started writing I feel much better. Its an escape from life (or its a way of 'getting' a life that doesn't exist.)<br /><br />I know you said you aren't that way inclined. But the only thing I can say is that you should do that course. Do any course that will interest you.. cooking/baking/ interior decor. It will keep you occupied and give you a goal to work on when you're not with the kids. They have their own lives now and you have to be available to them but you need to find yourself again. Your life can't revolve around them forever. <br /><br />And what I've learnt from my infertility experience- not everyone understands and unintentionally their response will be hurtful. So I refrain from telling anyone, even family members my personal things because they just don't understand. (I don't even speak about my writing because of cynical people)If you need to speak then rather speak to people you know will understand or you can trust. <br /><br />Fahranaaz xxxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
