@kattheunpackologist: “You’re so strong” sounds like praise until you notice how often people say it right before leaving you alone with the problem. Sometimes strength is not a compliment. Sometimes it is permission for other people to disappear. #GenXWomen #WomenOver50 #MidlifeWomen #StrongWomen #TheUnpackologist
I am experiencing worsening symptoms of my chronic illnesses and my friend said ‘I would like to help BUT I know you are strong and you can handle it’ Geez thanks for nothing🤦🏻♀️

Strength is overrated. I'd rather not need to be strong.

I never saw this side of it, but you’re absolutely correct. Some people only love your strength because it allows them to be neglectful and emotionally/physically lazy. Thank you for this ♥️♥️♥️🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻

I’m actually not that strong, I just didn’t have a choice but to pretend to be strong. Now that I’m perimenopausal and dealing with chronic illness, I’m REALLY trying not to pretend anymore, but I still have few resources and some friends have distanced themselves. I’m so tired 😪

And then something happens that literally breaks you. I crumbled and have yet to figure out how to put myself back together. Perimenopause exacerbated everything. Now, I’m someone who isn’t worth the time or effort.

Yes. 100% this. When I asked my mother why she never helped me while she helped my siblings, why she never called during my divorce, etc. she said, "You've always been so capable." aka she did not have the bandwidth to be mother to 7 kids, so about 5 of us were neglected under the guise of capability. And I told her so.

It was when the husband said I was the strongest woman he knew and would be fine to justify abandoning our marriage, friends, family and home that I never let anyone call me the strong one again.🙏
