“You failed to fulfil your duties as a wife and mother”…. screamed accusing fingers.
But who says a wife and mother is not an individual, and has her own needs and desires.
The fingers folded into fists which broke through the windows on her private existence. It was an identity crisis for them. How could she claim to have an existence beyond their reach?
No, you can’t…
Yes, I can….
The battle ensues.
She decides to quit everything other than her independent will – the marriage, house and comfort zone.
She wanted a sabbatical. She attained Nirvana in the process.

Good luck to her.

Ok. Lots of typo’s … lady-minute is last-minute and taco driver is taxi driver.

This strikes home for me – bullseye. When my kids were in their late teens and my life was only taking them, picking them up, cleaning house (including their disgusting rooms), laundry and ironing for their father, fancy homemade lady-minute dinner preparations for the spouse and his cronies, assisting the widowed mother-in-law I screamed – “I’m resigning from being a mother, wife, taco driver, maid and cook!!!” I couldn’t even take a bath without someone needing something, bellowing something, breaking something or sitting beside my tub needing … me! I was literally overwhelmed with no “me” and no “me time.” It didn’t end well but was something I HAD to do.

One feels connected on knowing that some problems and behavior patterns are same across the world. Everybody is brought up to believe that it is a woman’s job and she is not doing a favor. The day she asserts her individuality, all hell breaks loose.
