Should I Tell My Mom I’ve Never Truly Been Happy?

I’m 44, doing well at work, but the rest of my life feels empty. No partner, never married, and for years I struggled with alcohol. I’m in therapy now and things are better, but honestly, I’ve never really enjoyed life. My mom is 81, and I think she senses my loneliness. She asked about it over the holidays, and I felt defensive. Now, I just feel guilty. Would telling her the truth help, or would it only hurt her? Has anyone else faced this? I’d love to hear your thoughts below. #SpiritualJourney #HealingTogether #HonestConversations #Spirituality
