I don't know if I want advice, I don't know what I want but I need to let this all out.
I am so fed up of bending over backwards to make everyone else happy and ignoring myself.
My husband left me on NYE because he fell in love with someone else but I only ever tried to make him happy and I don't understand what I did wrong.
I used to bend over backwards to help my sister out. She barely talks to me any more because I don't have a car any more and I live too far away to be useful to her.
I do loads for my mum, I make her dinner all the time because her husband works nights so I have her over so she isn't alone. I bought her tickets for the football twice. I'm constantly trying to help her out or spend time with her and now it's time for me to want to do something and she's having second thoughts about doing it. If she is with her husband (which she is today as she is off work) then I'm put to the back of the pile. Last night, her husband and I got into an argument about something stupid and I got really upset. She was quite unconcerned and thought that I was upset about the argument when it was much more about the way he talks to me and makes me feel unwelcome in my childhood home.
I'm so fed up of putting everyone else first and always being ignored - be it by them or by myself. I don't know what to do. I can't do what I want because I don't want to hurt anybody else. I'm so fed up with it all now.
