I've spent many years caring for members of my family who had various life limiting illnesses. This has been all consuming and exhausting and impacted on the choices I've made in life. This year has been hard as these family members have died including my DH.
I've spent so many years thinking of others that I now realise I don't know who I am. I don't know what I like, my opinions, my interests. Everything has always been done to put others comfort and consideration first. I would love to plan a holiday but don't know where would interest me, I might be in a position to move house in a few years but wouldn't know where to move to. I know the generic answer is to 'join clubs' but I wouldn't even know what my interests are. I also have two young DC's with limited childcare options and limited money.
With a new year and new decade round the corner I suppose I just want to find out from others the small steps you've taken to rediscover who you were.
