Most of the time, I always feel like the people I love the most don’t care about me. I tried to be understanding, but most of the time they will tell me that I am so demanding.
I’m working far from home. The only thing that keeps me going is my kids.
Hey @South, thank you for opening up and sharing how you’re feeling. It sounds like you’re carrying a lot on your shoulders, and it’s especially hard when your love and efforts feel unappreciated. Being far from home and working hard makes it even more challenging to stay connected, and that’s a heavy burden to bear.
It’s clear you deeply care about your relationships, and the fact that you’re trying to be understanding speaks volumes about your kindness and patience. You deserve to feel valued and supported. Sometimes, talking to someone—a trusted friend, a support group, or even here in this space, can help lighten the load.
Know that we’re here for you, whether you want to share more or just need a safe place to be heard. You’re not alone 
I feel you so much on this. I’m a wfh mom with 2 kids and it feels like everyone expects me to do everything. Work, the house, the kids…it’s like I’m constantly being pulled in a million directions & no one really gets how exhausting it is…when I try to say I’m overwhelmed, I get told I’m “too demanding” too. It’s so frustrating… But I totally get it about your kids. Mine keep me going too, even on the days when everything feels heavy. Just remember you’re doing soo much already and it matters!!
Be kind to yourself and do what you can. If it’s not urgent, like laundry or dishes, push it to tomorrow when you’ve got more energy (that’s what i do!). Take care of yourself first, you matter!! If it’s overwhelming, maybe get some help if you can, like a cleaning service or someone to watch the kids. Even just a couple of hours at a cafe to breathe or get work done can make a big difference. You’re doing the best you can and that’s enough @South . Sending lots of love!
your kids are lucky to have u and they’re such a good reason to keep going. hang in there💛
Thanks for replying to me. Yeah, i’ve been struggling now.
ty @loveletterz. I’m working abroad now and my kids is with their dad. Lately, i’m trying to ask him to check on me from time to time since I do not go out. After work I go back to my house and same day routine.
He just told me that i’m asking for too much time, I just wanted to know where his whereabouts though. I just want to know where his going. or what is his plans.
I want assurance that though i’m far, our relationship will not change. I have a lot of worries right now.
thanks @rachel. I will do my very best to be strong and to be able to move forward. My eldest is 2 years old and the youngest is 11 months old.
I missed them so much 
hey @South , surprisingly I can relate to how you’re feeling about the distance. I used to do long-distance with my partner too and I was the type to often ask him about his whereabouts and his plans. I just wanted to be part of his life, despite being far away. It’s tough with the distance but we want to keep the depth of the relationship the same so that’s the way we try to connect with our partners. I get you, it’s super tough, I don’t doubt that for a second! Maybe try explaining to him how this distance is making you feel and why knowing his plans helps you feel closer? Wanting that reassurance isn’t asking for too much; you just want to feel connected and that’s totaally valid. Hang in there, you’re doing your best and your feelings matter!
and I just saw your other post. your children are still so small!! that must be so tough to be away from them for work 
you’re a strong mama!
thanks @loveletterz . I felt relieved that someone, feels the same.
