Losing your own identity is easy when you become a parent. There are so many ways you are pulled that sometimes you lose sight of who and what you were before especially if you have stopped working! Once it is gone its not easy to get back as you feel too guilty.
It is important to be selfish sometimes as this is the only chance you have to learn what makes you happy and learning what makes you happy will help your family be happy too. Take time out to have on your own be that reading a magazine for half an hour, going for a walk or simply having a bath on your own for once.
Tell everyone it is your time and you do not want to be disturbed but you must be strong about it and stick to your guns no matter what. You may just be suprised about what you learn about yourself in that short time and sometimes you even get that eureka moment to something that has been unsolved for ages.
