The author expresses a sense of emotional exhaustion from trying to juggle work, school, and family life, resulting in a strained relationship with their children. Despite their efforts, they feel more like a bystander in their own family, experiencing a disconnect that leaves them worried about the future. The anticipated week off becomes a source of recovery rather than a joyful family experience, evoking feelings of lost time. The author reflects on their personal flaws and the burdens they've carried, culminating in a feeling of resignation about their current state of life.
I guess it'd be easier if I didn't care that my kids will barely talk to me.
Looking forward for to a measly week off, where I spend most the week recovering from work and the rest of it being ignored.
I don't feel like I am the kind of person I'd like to be.
That's the trick though. Keep pushing well beyond any belief that things will work out.
