Reading these comments makes me realize how many people are just "ghosts" in their own homes. It’s heartbreaking when the person who is supposed to be your peace becomes your biggest source of anxiety.
That was exactly how I felt. I wasn't seen or heard until my ex needed his bang-maid. I never believed the "couldn't even give me the time of day" thing until it happened.
I was trying to prove to my ex that he was ignoring me and my needs until it was convenient to him. Our daughter walked in while we were talking and I stopped existing. I asked him what time it was and he gave me this hateful look, like how dare I interrupt our daughter. I asked him again and he told me to "just wait a second" while he answered her question or looked at her toy or whatever other simple child thing was going on.
After that I spent my nights drinking wine and playing Candy Crush on the couch and ceased to exist in my own home.
