heres how i see my relationship with my mother. she is brainwashed and is trying to push it onto me, and i refused to be brainwash and am fighting a losing battle... let me start from the beginning

whenever her and i talk about school, were on completely different continents. she thinks schoolwork should just be done and completed. thats it. whenever i tell her that i do not agree with her at all, and that i would like to learn something at school, she shuts down, stops talking about it and storms off in some other direction, and refuses to talk about my side. just the other day she discussed taking a course in graphic arts 'just to get the bachelor degree.' i thought it would be a good time to discuss how i was thinking of going to a film school to become a director. she said no you dont want to do that, shut down, yelled at me, and then read her book, refusing to talk about it. this is no exageration either, this just happened two days ago.

first off, i am extremely insulted that my own mother would tell me that learning is not important, and that i should not do what i want as a career. she would rather push her views of doing things the way a book tells me and that i should just get a bachelor degree so i can get a job, not the job i want. however, i cannot discuss this with her because she refuses to see another side, she is set in her way.

i am lost, i do not know what to do, and i cannot talk with my mother about school. i am putting myself through school, but she has this sick perverted view that she controls my future and that i should bend to her will, and i am at a brick wall. i am just tired of fighting her, what can do i to make her listen to me?
