So, I, the daughter who did not graduate college, most likely due to ADHD, didn't even graduate HS, was worked over and groomed by my mother to be 'her last hope'.

She convinced me not to become a self-sufficient adult on my own, rather to find a husband who can, at least support himself, to give me an adult life.

I found one who could even support me!

So, in her eyes, I was the successful daughter, and she was more proud of me than the other two who didn't have support from their men, rather they had to work.
