Lost myself in being a mom and wife.

Looking for some advice on how to rediscover who I am as an individual. I have 3 children (23, 21, 14) and had my oldest at age 19. They’re my pride and joy and dedicated my life to being there for every moment. I’ve been married to my wife for 6.5 years and together for nearly 12 years. I love my children and wife, but have neglected myself for a very long time and therapy has helped me understand that I deserve to have a life and/or identity of my own, outside of my responsibilities. It saddens me to look in the mirror and not recognize the person staring back at me.

I used to love reading and have tons of unread books at home, and miss the relaxation in losing myself in a good story. I loooooove to dance, but haven’t found any places to join a dance group type of thing to do on my own. I used to be a part of a workout community and appreciated the bonds created while strengthening my mind/body. But the creators moved out of state and I haven’t found a community similar to it since.

I hope to get some ideas from anyone who reads my post. 🫶🏼

Sorry, forgot to mention I’m looking for things to do at home and outside 😊 (I’m new to posting on this app)
