She’s exhausted.
After over 40 years of work and solo parenting, she’s ready to stop sacrificing and start living life for herself. She’s not rejecting her family, and she certainly isn’t turning her back on her grandkids.
But she’s no longer willing to trade her hard-earned retirement for another full-time, unpaid role.
The backlash has been painful. Her daughter is hurt. Her son-in-law has grown distant. Even her sister has called to label her decision as selfish.
But as the reader pointed out, none of them were there offering help when she was struggling to raise a child on her own.
She still deeply loves her family. But this time, she’s choosing herself. She wants rest, freedom, and a chance to enjoy her golden years.
Her question echoes what many wonder but are afraid to say: Is it really selfish to finally prioritize your well-being after a lifetime of putting others first?
To that, we say: No, it’s not. It’s human. And it’s okay.
