The housewife — Caroline, 43, two children
I suppose I should feel grateful, shouldn't I? Lovely house, two healthy kids, husband who provides. But lately I've just been feeling so… . Last year Mark promised we'd finally take that trip to Italy — the one we'd been talking about ages — and then in March he announced the company needed him over the summer and that was that. I was gutted. I'd already started learning a bit of Italian on my phone. Then a few weeks later my sister rang to say she was going to Tuscany with her husband, and I tried to be happy for her, I really did, but I felt like she was raining on my without even meaning to. And now I look at myself in the mirror and I just feel let — not by Mark, not really, but by the life I thought I'd be living by now.
