Good luck next time you have to deal with her.  |
This is what I suspected too - it’s not about her so she’s not interested. She may also be very jealous of posh girl and her ability to be absorbed by a hobby and have the technical knowledge to pursue it. PG, you write your mother is critical of others, in my experience this often stems from feelings of inadequacy, trying to put others down in order to bolster one’s own self esteem. Sadly it’s likely she doesn’t have the ability to cheer you on and share your achievements PG.
