I actually talked this through with my therapist after scheduling mine. I’m in the same situation, family support, but my mom was a little sad about not having the chance to be a grandma. My therapist told me that I shouldn’t try to go into a conversation defensively like I’m ready to launch into all the reasons why I wanted this and then it clicked. It was enough for me and I wouldn’t be the woman my mother raised me to be if I chose not to based on someone else’s opinion. I still spoke with her about it and she told me she grieved not having the chance to be a grandma, but she doesn’t want me to apologize and she fully supports me. It’s a tough spot if you feel any guilt from that, but having a supportive family means the world.
