That is not an easy post to write since it likely doesn’t feel good to feel like you’re failing your family in this way. The author says “the people I care about most”, but what is caring for people if not giving them your full attention and best self? I recognize some of this behavior in myself and improving the situation required recognizing that (in my case) the work stress was largely self-created as a way to satisfy my ego. My advice to the author is to seek out a therapist to work through whatever underlying issues are causing them to prioritize work over the rest of life.

Author here, having a job and thriving there is also part of maintaining the family (and make sure they thrive)

I do have a therapist as well i think one part of me decided to open this, is a healing part

Thanks so much for the comment though, truly appreciate that
