[quote=Anonymous] First, some people are worriers. After decades of denying it, I finally went on anxiety meds. Your parents are of the generation that often doesn't believe in mental health issues. Second, perhaps they're realizing they're nearing the end of their lifespan, and they regret that they can't see you more settled in life before they leave. My uncle finally had a grandchild at 85, after he'd given up. He's been so happy since. His only kid isn't married, and never will be, and isn't rich, and never will be. But having a grandchild has been the most powerful mood booster for him, and I'm so happy he lived to take care of the baby himself. Not saying you should get a better-paying job, get married or have kids just to please your parents! But... they're feeling some regret and insecurity on your behalf. It's understandable, and it's also understandable that you should detach from that. Live your best life, OP.[/quote]
