I am sorry to hear that. I am sure alot of woman/men go through this atleast a fews times in their lifetime. It sounds as though you aren't getting enough "ME" time and the love and attention you deserve or need. Life is probably disappointing you and your sick of it, hench throwing in the towel. The grass is not always greener on the other side. I would advise maybe taking a vacation by yourself or atleast have a Spa day for you with no interruptions get the works. A new hair-do and nails and a pedicure and maybe even a nice new outfit would be just the thing to put a raise in your spirits and you need to put you and your needs first once in a while and take a step out of the mom mode and girlfriend and step into being a woman role and watch a movie, It does seem that you need another life outside of your families, doesn't mean you love them less but it helps to be a better more productive mom/lover/friend/girlfriend/wife. When you take "me time" I have a sister in law who says she couldn't be the mom/wife she is unless she gets her breaks and me times. She does tanning and other things to make her feel special, cause if nobody else is applying for the job of making you feel needed and special, then you have to do it yourself. I know money problems can be a big issue but maybe set aside a little at a time and then do something special maybe drag a friend along. There are also maybe free things you could do like walk to the park,read a book,have a picnic,etcc.. I do hope that you will start to not feel so closed in and trapped and maybe wiht help will get past this rough spot in life.

I have thought about it and maybe what she needs is for her daughter to visit her grandfather and step-grandmother for a week. It owuld help just not having to deal with the stress of not being listened to and help her regroup herself and she does need a break from same ol' same ol' day after day routine. She needs to go do something like dancing or something like that. I know I am shy but my mom swears going dancing is a great mood lifter and helps. So dress up and kick up your heels, make some noise and paint the town red..YAHOOOOO!
