In Lets Talk Girl Talk we have a segment we do occasionally called “Dear Callie”. To get the full gist of what this entails I am going to post a real post from the group. Of course, certain details have been changed or left out all together to protect the anonymity of the women within the group, but these posts come to an admins inbox and they then turn around and post the question anonymously. Its kinda similar to a “Dear Abby” post that use to be published in a newspaper decades ago. The ladies in the group then comment and give advice without knowing who the post is about. Its a unique aspect that describes the dynamic in the group.
“Dear Callie, So advice please....or thoughts.....my marriage is hard which is fine it has always been that way. But lately I feel like a door mat...or maybe it's just that I am sad. Right now I am a SAHM to teenagers. I feel worthless. Clean cook pay bills repeat. I do have a side business that is going no where. Money is super tight. Money being tight is nothing new. I do love being a stay at home mom. But here's the deal not one person has even asked how my day went in 3 months. My hubby comes home and talks for hours ok vents and never asks about me. Last night money fight. It's never a fun conversation EVER. Now he says he doesn't trust me to pay bills. WTF I have only been doing for 20 years...but now because he has a budget I am not trust worthy???? I feel like such a loser! I have been trying not to cry and have been praying. I have been married to someone who doesn't even know who I am and has never supported anything I have ever done. I know I am justified in being sad but am I over reacting?”
