00:00I thought, if I heard enough, maybe he would finally see what he did.
00:04If I suffered, maybe he would feel guilty.
00:07If I broke, maybe he would understand my value.
00:11So I tried to do everything to take care of the house, the kids, his moods, his needs.
00:16I gave more than I could, explained myself again and again,
00:21fixed things that weren't even my responsibility.
00:24I thought if I suffered enough, he would notice.
00:27He would finally see me.
00:28But no matter how much I gave, no matter how much I hurt, it didn't make him see.
00:34My suffering didn't define my worth, so I decided to stop this cycle.
00:38I started protecting my energy, saying no when I needed to, and giving only where it's appreciated.
00:44I set clear boundaries and reminded myself, my value is mine, not theirs.
00:49And slowly, I learned, I am enough, just as I am.
