I'm losing a battle I didn't even know I was fighting.
My sense of self is being absorbed slowly by "mother" and "housewife". For reasons that I couldn't explain if I tried, the German word "hausfrau" seems to combine the two ideas in my head. I look surprisingly like a hausfrau these days (minus the badly fitting print dress, although I'm sure I could find one or two if I tried) and I'm starting to feel that that's my only role in life.
I don't know how to save myself. I don't even know if it's worth the effort to even try.
Gah. I hate self-pity, but I really don't know what to do.
