[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a SAHM I can relate to her feelings of having lost her identity. But I think women do this to themselves. It's not done to them by their families. A lot of women. Me included. Become martyr moms and put their needs and wants last. Then they wake up one day and say wait a minute! What about me. They are mostly angry at themselves. And sad about the impending empty nest. That's me. 
I could relate to her anger except she has such a loving and doting and involved husband in Jack. I have a husband who provides and works hard but genuinely prefers work time over family time and is very selfish. I could hear myself saying a lot of what she was saying. [b]I'd trade my husband for Jack any day. [/b][/quote]

Ouch.  PP, I'm sorry - your husband does sound selfish.  I'm also a SAHM but have never felt like I'm a martyr at all and I'm certainly not angry at myself for deciding to take care of our kids myself.  I guess I don't identify at all with what you're saying, especially as I'm fortunate to have a wonderful husband who loves coming home each day.  That said, I do understand Rebecca's desire to temporarily explore a passion of hers and I don't find it selfish at all.  I was wondering why she didn't put Jack in a hotel room, take his keys, and do the show - then deal with him afterwards.  It's too bad she decided not to continue with the tour.  [/quote]
