[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As  dreary as it seems for you right now, the more you post, the more hopeful it seems.  You sound like someone worth knowing.  Hopefully, you have hit your rock bottom and a year from now you will be in a much better place.  Some people don't hit their stride until they hit their forties or fifties. Fight![/quote]

I totally agreed. I think your experience is actually very relateable, OP. Lots and lots and lots of people feel similar pressures and expectations. I think you have an important voice to share - because the false expectations people/parents have about marriage/kids NEEDS to be talked about. It NEEDS to be broken down, and seen for the damage it can cause to your/our self worth. It simply isn't acceptable to make someone feel devalued just because they're not married and don't have kids. Your life belong to you, OP. It's yours. You are allowed to take your time. You are allowed to disappoint your parents. You are allowed to follow your own course. I hope you keep talking and standing up for yourself, OP. You bring up a really important and common parent/child debate, and it's a perspective that needs to be talked about.
