Yo, your mom needs to step off. This reminds me of that old story - the father is telling his son, "you know, when Abraham Lincoln was your age, he used to walk five miles one way to school in the snow." The kid responds to his dad, "And when Abraham Lincoln was YOUR age, he was President of the United States!" I tried telling my mom she was hurting my self-esteem when she talked to me like that, but she just made a joke out of that, too. Get out as soon as you can and don't look back. Good luck.
