Maybe that's part of it. Maybe she had certain expectations for you that did not match with your own and it made you feel inadequate. That's' really hard! You don't need to feel guilty for living your life the way you want to. Sometimes parents have trouble letting their kids live their own lives. You sound like you're trying hard to do the best you can with the relationship.
