i know providing breastmilk for someone else's child is incredibly personal, but, personally speaking, i wouldn't feel it was any of my business when/if said mom decided to discontinue breastfeeding.
to me, the health & wellbeing of mom would be equally important to that of the kiddo i was helping out.
although i didn't use donor milk, i know exactly what you're going through. making the decision to stop breastfeeding isn't selfish on your part - you have to take care of you. i can't imagine any sane person begrudging you your sanity. *hugs*
ps - in case it actually NEEDS to be said, you're not a failure. you've gone above & beyond what most other moms (including me!) would do to provide breastmilk for their child.
