Chapters
Your husband isn't the problem, you are. And I know that's not what you want to hear, but you've been blaming the wrong person for years and it hasn't fixed a single thing, has it? You resent him for not leading, but you never actually led him. You resent him for not understanding your sacrifice, but you never actually told him the cost. You resent him for being at the school events while you were at work, but you chose the work every single freaking day. Nobody held a gun to your head. You built the empire, you ran the practice, you carried everything, and you called it love when it was actually control dressed up in exhaustion. The most dangerous woman is not the one who does nothing. It is the one who does everything and then wonders why nobody saves her. You cannot be the CEO, the mother, the breadwinner, the emotional anchor, the decision maker, and the victim at the same time. Pick one. If this made you angry, good. That anger is information. Pop a reset below and let's do something useful with it.
