How to accept your life is gone?

I got pregnant with my son right after I turned 19. His dad who I fell madly in love with told me he was infertile, so I never thought this would be my life. Now I’m raising my son alone.
I love my son more than anything, but I feel like I’m grieving the person I was supposed to become. I never got to experience my youth, and I don’t know how to accept that it’s gone.
I’m so depressed. I feel empty all the time. Being a single mom is so isolating, and some days the weight of it feels unbearable. I keep thinking about how different my life could have been if his dad had stayed. If I wasn’t naive enough to believe his lie.
I don’t feel I have the strength to survive the pain of every day. Has anyone else gone through this? How do you stop grieving the life you’ll never have?

Would you be happy paying $1,700 for labor of this backsplash install?

We hired a contractor to remove our old subway tile backsplash and install this large-format porcelain tile. He originally quoted $1,100, but after demo he increased the price by $600, saying porcelain was harder to work with. We supplied all materials.
The biggest issue for us is that the layout ended up completely off-center behind the cooktop and hood, which is the main focal point of the kitchen. The veins also didn’t match at all.

How bad is this tile job?

Please be brutally honest. I don’t know what to do.

Would you repair or replace this marble waterfall panel?

We specifically asked that no outlet openings be cut into our marble waterfall panels because we planned to relocate the outlets. Unfortunately, our fabricator cut anyway, but the original marble cutouts were saved.
If you were in our position, would you try having a marble restoration specialist reinstall the original pieces and repair the panel, or would you replace the waterfall panel?
Has anyone had a similar repair done, and how did it turn out?

Desperately seeking advice!!

Desperately need honest opinions. We were doing a marble waterfall island, and I specifically told our fabricator in person that I wanted the waterfall sides to be seamless, covering the outlets and relocated to be underneath the cabinet.. He later texted me confirming about the outlets, and I replied, "Yes, we want to cover them." I understood that to of course mean cover them with the marble/no visible outlet cutouts in the waterfall.
Today I saw that he cut the waterfall panels for the outlets. I'm honestly devastated because we spent so much on this marble for it not to be perfect.. What would you do in my situation?
Translation of the text:
Fabricator: "Karolina, so you don't want me to make the outlet openings on the sides of the island, right?
You don't want them?"
Me: "Can you send me a photo? Of both sides of the island?"
(He sends the photo showing the outlet location.)
Fabricator: "Do you want these outlets or should I not make them?"
Me: "Yes, we want to cover them."
Fabricator: "Ok."
