I feel these words to my bones. I was always too much AND not enough. Was it confusing? Yeah but that was “too bad”! I remember crying from exhaustion after having my twins at nearly 40.. 5 kids in 6 years! I can barely remember that decade, but I can remember crying from exhaustion & hoping for comfort from my husband, the father to those 5 kids. Y’know what he said? He leaned back crossed his arms and said “yeah it sucks to be you”. And that’s when I knew it was time to start crafting my exit strategy.
I am so lucky to have found you Carmen! I thank my lucky stars, as my father would say, that TikTok brought us together. You inspire me! 🥰
I love you friend. I feel every ounce of what you shared. That kind of pain — carrying so much alone, being everything for everyone and still made to feel like it’s not enough — it leaves marks that only other survivors can recognize. I only have one child. I couldn't imagine navigating a much larger family.
I'm so proud of you for seeing the truth in that moment and choosing yourself, even when it must have felt impossible. That strength is breathtaking.
I'm the lucky one that we found each other. Truly. People like you are exactly why I keep fighting, and your story reminds me why none of us are alone anymore. I'm so grateful for you. 🥹❤️
