Just left my wife and daughter because of how I feel about them.

Hello, I'm in my early 30s and I just left my family behind. I've been feeling resentful for a while now because my wife and daughter never supported me, but instead treated me as a cashcow. I felt used, like they only cared about what they could get from me, not what I wanted from them.<br><br>I worked my ass off for years, sacrificing time with them to pay the bills, but they never thanked me, never showed appreciation. Instead, they took advantage of my good nature, using me to fund their lifestyle, buying stuff I didn't even want, spending my money without asking, living beyond our means. I felt like I was drowning in debt, like I was just a paycheck away from losing everything.<br><br>I had enough, so I left, without warning. I packed my things, grabbed my dog, and walked out the door. I didn't say a word, didn't explain why, didn't even give them a chance to change my mind. I just left.<br><br>I'm living now in a small apartment, alone, but I feel free. No more guilt, no more obligation, no more resentment. I'm finally doing what I want, without worrying about what they want. I'm rediscovering myself, finding my passions, learning to say no, to set boundaries.<br><br>I miss my dog, of course, but not them. Not anymore. I realize now that I was just a means to an end, a way for them to live their best life. They didn't need me, they just used me, took advantage of my good heart. I'm better off without them.<br><br>I'm not sad, not regretful. I'm just...done. I'm moving on, leaving the past behind, embracing this new chapter. I'm becoming the man I always wanted to be, not the husband or father they wanted me to be. I'm taking control of my life, no more letting them walk all over me.
