I'm in a similar place to you (maybe not as extreme as yours sounds) but I do feel I am doing more than my share at the moment. On Saturday I did go on strike. I came down in the morning to find the kitchen in chaos - and I left it. Went to do the shopping and left it. When I came back it was tidied, the dishwasher was on and it was relatively clean.
It's a really hard balance to strike. I want to make my family happy, but I need to recognise that I have needs to, and make sure that I do what I can to get those needs met. Sometimes it feels like it is easier to do it myself - but in the long run I am not doing anyone any favours by trying to be superwoman.

It's hard though. I'm not pretending otherwise. And I certainly haven't found the balance myself. But I think taking a stand might be a good thing.
