***All I can think about right now is how alone I am.***
But see, you are not alone. It just feels that way. Of course you are part of this babble community, and more importantly you have your family & your sons (who love you just the way you are), your friends and your co-workers, etc. etc.
And you are certainly not alone in having mother issues - I think we can filled up an entire country or two with that population.
Somehow our brains lead us to believe that our mothers must have been right for the choices they made (knowingly or not). It may have been the best that they could have done at that moment, but it doesn't mean it was good enough for the people that we are.
I know that you would like your mom to accept you as you are --- that is a motherly idea. But whether she does or not says more about her than you. And from what little you write about her, it does feel like she is proud of you.
Mothers - what a complicated relationship.
