My mom is my best friend, and I want her to be proud of me and love me. I graduated with an engineering degree and have a great job. I have only dated one guy, despite being completely open to relationships, and that was three years ago. I don’t think I will ever find “Mr. Right” and even if I do, I don’t think I want children of my own. She loves kids, but I never have, and she adores babies, but they make me uneasy and uncomfortable. I fear that even though she says she loves me and I cannot disappoint her, deep down her only daughter makes her sad and breaks her heart.
