well CONGRATULATIONS are in order!!!!
that is such wonderful news!! i am so very happy for you!
as for your mom, you may never get the validation from her since she seems to be stuck in time and is jealous of your accomplishments. it's too bad she can't just give you the support you are looking for. i'd say recognize it for what it is, and just get on with you life. you can't change your mom or dad but it's looks like you are changing yourself by seeking a higher education. pat yourself on the back and be proud!!! know that we do care and support you. i for one am very proud of what you have accomplished and wish you the very best!!!
