What has surprised me the most is people seem to judge me different now I am no longer working sad but true. I feel like shouting I'm not lazy I've worked most of my life the reason I'm not working at the moment is quite frankly none of your business Oh how I wish I had the guts to say that when they ask why are you no longer working or it's all right for some. |
I remember the feeling weenie and do sympathise with you.
I went from quite a high profile job to just being someone who sat around in hospitals listening to other people dictate how my medical condition meant my life had to change and HATED IT. I missed being part of a team, I missed having people around me who saw me and not the labels of 'wife' 'mother' , I felt as though the real me was now invisible.
So if someone is crass enough to ask why you are no longer working in a tone you don't like, or infer you are taking the easy option then bite their sodding heads off!!!!
Oh and enjoy your Anniversary break away from home. Fresh air and beautiful scenery are good for the soul.
