@Miami8105,
Some parents are overbearing, even if you were a superhero saving the entire galaxy from being enslaved by an evil alien overlord your mom would still think you are wasting your life or making bad choices.
I know she's a downer for you but keep in mind she won't be around for ever. If you cut her out of your life you might regret it later, especially if you have babies. She will change when she's a grandma and you'll see her spoil your kids and treat them better than she ever did you.
Its a strange experience. Just try to thicken your skin when you speak with her. It could be worse.
