I am so sorry she is trying to steal your thunder. Perhaps it would be best from now on that you don't tell her about your hopes and dreams.....She will not be able to be a mother that you can have a "normal" relationship with, alas.
Yes, she is exactly like that. Everything I do well she thinks is because of her good parenting and any time I **** up it's because I'm nothing like her and too weak
Yeah, it's a shame but I'm starting to keep more of myself from her.
