I'm really struggling tonight

I have a lot of weight on my shoulders and no one to lean on. I take care of my family, and when I'm in need, when I have emotions, when I break. That's when I'm reminded how alone I am. I'm not allowed to be sick, I'm not allowed to cry. I'm not allowed to be tired. Because if I do I'm not the faithful servant fulfilling my duties. I'm human, and that's not allowed.

You have to allow yourself to be human. Give yourself the grace to cry and take what you need to restore yourself. Your mind, body and soul are demanding it. What ever gives you pleasure or rest or relief from the stress. Even for a moment. Give it to yourself if no one else will. A walk, a pet, a manicure, whatever. You have the right to give yourself the permission. No one else has the right to deny it.

@RuyLopez 🙌🙏👌 MUST.....is RIGHT! If she does not at this point, she will lose her health and no one is worth that. But still if a marriage can be worked out, I say go for it unless this person is being abusive. If it is her husband and he's an abusive bully, and will not listen, then she definitely needs to go her own way. I am not for divorce but when it comes to losing your health, like I did, because of such a person as this, please get out. Don't walk out. RUN!
