I am not built for this

Since becoming a mother almost 18 years ago, my heart has, figuratively speaking, been in our son's hands. Until the beginning of April this year, he took really good care of it, but since he got a girlfriend, he has become very reckless with my heart.

I know the goal of raising your child is for them to become independent and fully functioning people in society, but it breaks my heart to think that soon he won't need me at all. The paradox of motherhood is that you're raising the one person you can't live without, to be able to live without you.
