Tired 😔

I’m tired… but I have to keep going. My children need me, and right now, I only have myself to rely on. One of the saddest realities is when your own family cannot support your decision to walk away from a marriage that was already breaking you. Sometimes, it feels like what matters more is how things look to relatives, friends, colleagues, and other people. And somehow, I started feeling like I became a disappointment… a shame they wanted hidden instead of a daughter they wanted understood. But people do not see the sleepless nights. The silent crying. The emotional exhaustion of trying to survive something that was already hurting you for years. Leaving was not easy. But staying was slowly destroying me. So even if I feel alone sometimes, I will keep choosing peace, healing, and my children. And maybe one day, I will no longer feel guilty for saving myself too.
