I for one always placed seemed to have placed my work ahead of my family, It wasn't intentional. It just happened. I also never prioritized my own self care. I hope you are able to without losing focus on your family.

This probably comes with age. I no longer give a fran what others think of me or what they expect. Their expectations are their own. As long as I am living up to the ones I set, I am good.

This is good and something I went through last year. I have been working on small steps to a better me for months now and it works. I feel better mentally and physcially. Still have some more work to do.

Best wishes on your journey.
