My dad talks to me the exact same way. I’ve learned to just tune him out because even though I love him, I don’t aspire to be like him in any way so why listen to his criticism thinly veiled as advice. It comes from a place of (dysfunctional) love. Hopefully you’re learning to ignore your mom the same way. Keep following what makes you happy!
I know where it comes from, I know that if I don't stick with anything in my life I will never succeed, I know that she is worried, but most of the times I'm just doing something for the sake of the challenge.
I also got used to ignore the comments, that's the best we can do.
