Rant
Have you ever exploded over a dish in the sink?
Not because it was just a dish.
But because it was every dish youâve ever cleaned⌠every ask, every favor, every âitâs fine, Iâve got it,â when no one ever asked if you were okay.
This chapter isnât about anger management.
This is a war cry for the women whoâve been called âtoo much,â âtoo sensitive,â or âoverreactingâ â when really, they were just under-supported and overloaded.
Youâre not crazy.
Youâre f*cking tired.
And youâve been told your whole damn life to smile through it.
This oneâs for the moms who mutter, âI just want to run away for a weekendâ and actually mean it.
For the wives, partners, caretakers, and ride-or-dies who silently seethe while carrying emotional backpacks packed by everyone else.
For the women who say âitâs fineâ while swallowing volcanoes.
You were never the problem.
You were a people-pleaser in survival mode.
A ragey, burnt-out, invisible badass who has every fcking right* to be pissed â because being everything for everyone left no room to be anything for yourself.
Letâs Talk
Hereâs where we start pulling at the roots.
Weaponized silence: When you're too exhausted to explain why youâre mad â or too scared itâll be turned on you.
Mom martyrdom: Being told that sacrificing yourself for your family is âlove,â but really, itâs slow self-erasure.
Burnout isnât laziness: Itâs what happens when you override your own needs for years just to stay afloat.
Resentment is grief in disguise: Grief for the support you didnât get. For the boundaries you werenât allowed to have. For the version of you who thought âbeing goodâ would be enough.
