One of the hardest things to do is to cut that parental tie with your parents. Your mom probably still sees you as a little girl. Help her not see you as that little girl by living your own life. You only get one life so you live it and let your mom know that you are going to be ok because you are making conscious choices. Living life is a balance and career should be no more important than anything else like spirituality, family, relationships, social, wellness and recreation. People often regret what they didn’t do more than any mistakes they made. I know I have. Good luck and enjoy your beautiful life. Your mom will learn that you will be ok and you are an adult now when you make your own path.
