[quote=Anonymous]OP - we don't know each other , but my heart is breaking for you. I went thru something very similar and being the parent pleaser, I finally got married at 36. didn't have a child until I was 39. I wish I didn't succumb to my parents pressure to get married. I am not happy although I really enjoy being a mom. All I can say is to try and tune them out. Do they have any idea of how this is impacting you? Are you able to discuss with one or the other? Is it possible to "run away" and be far away from their influence? I don't understand why a parent can't just be supportive of their child, but having parents similar to yours as far as getting married goes, I can relate. It would absolutley destroy me to know that my child killed herself because of me.

No one deserves to feel the way you do and your thoughts are distorted. As much as I am opposed to medication, I had to take some anti-depressants for a brief and dar k period in my life and I was astounded as to how well tehy worked. It was the best feeling and convinced me that depression is a legitimate disease that won't just go away by just hoping it will go away. Medication and therapy will help you bounce back from these comments. Also - your friends value you too and if you can confide in them, I encourage you to do so. I took a leap and told a close friend of mine what I was going thru and it was one of the best things I did (besides the meds and therapy which I am done with).
