It does sound like your mother's pushing you into a relationship so that she can push off the responsibility of caring for you onto someone else....sadly, I do not believe that there are times in our life where having another person is the answer.

You need to learn how to cope & how to be happy with yourself the way you are now after the accident. It takes time to come to terms with how TBI's cause our reactions & how our personalities are effected by them. It's wonderful that you have great MD's, psychologist helping you......& it's important that you focus on your relationship with your only child from the marriage you had before loosing your H......that in & of itself is a major trauma to have gone through let alone the accident.

When you can get to the point where you are comfortable having friendships......only then would I consider even trying to find someone for a marriage relationship....because if a marriage relationship doesn't start out as a friendship first.....it will never be able to be a successful marriage.

Don't let your mother's pressure get to you & express that pressure to your psychologist & MD's......they may be able to have a talk with your mother & tell her to BACK OFF & give her better reasons than you might be able to express to her just because it's hard to say some things to our parents that really need to be said.

I am sorry that you are going through all these struggles in your life....it does seem like there are times when we have too many struggles to deal with....but it just takes time to rebuild our lives back into some level of ability to care for ourselves after going through such serious occurrences that have happened & even start to feel normal in the life we have ended up in & realize what that NEW NORMAL actually is.

Keep posting & expressing yourself. I have found that my best understanding of where I am comes from writing & reading my thoughts & having wonderful input from others to help me in that understanding.

Be easy & patient on yourself.....you definitely deserve that after all you have gone through
