To myself I find it rather defeating as I have always generally been quite active. I am also not all that old. When you are the sole person responsible for a household, everything relies on you. Which is the case for myself. There is no one backing me up, there is no one to lean on and take some of the weight. I know that if I do not work, bills will not get paid etc. I am sure this gives me my sense of defeat as one of my main purposes in my household has been stalled. When you place such a value on yourself it is defeating to know that you cannot meet the task any further.
