So - I am exhausted but always feel like maybe I am just missing something - some secret that other people have to not feeling this way.
I have been a lone parent since my DC was a baby. No family nearby and all parenting has been down to me (exH’s contribution has only been financial). My DC is now a young teen but requires quite a lot of emotional and practical support. I have worked nearly full time all this time in quite a demanding job and have juggled this with running a house, being a parent and working. I feel like I have just had enough being an adult!
My DC helps a bit now but their school day is very long and homework on top so actually has less time than me. So when I am not working I am cleaning, cooking, dealing with life admin. Just so tired and feel like it’s never ending. I think what makes it worse is that I am late 40s - probably peri menopausal and constantly tired.
