I am the eldest daughter. I have one younger sister. I was raised by divorced parents. Throughout my life, my mother was never satisfied with all my achievements and whatever I did in my life from when I was at school until I was finally able to support myself. I wasn't the genius type, I wasn't the kid who always got straight A's, but I wasn't the stupid kid either, I was definitely the kid who got lots of B's ​​and B+'s. However, I was not active in class and I was never interested in participating in competitions or Olympics held by my school.

Unfortunately, this makes my mother very embarrassed because I am not as smart and as skilled as other children my age, especially the children of my mother's friends. So my mother thought I was a stupid and embarrassing child. And what's even worse, this stupid and embarrassing assumption didn't stop until I was over 21 years old. She often compares me with her friends' children whose lives are more successful than mine and who have better lives than me. She hates the way that I live paycheck to paycheck, I don’t own a house and a car, and I’m not rich like her friends’ children. Well I’m not gonna lie, it hurts, but over the years, I don’t really think about it and just live my life. My personal life isn’t fucked anyway. But she always has stuff to say about it.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, it stings something in my heart. I got upset for the past few days. My mood went downhill so bad. On top of that, my sister told me that mom talked shit behind my back AGAIN. Mom said, I am an embarrassment because I’m over 23 and I’m not married yet, meanwhile her friends children are way better and they have babies n get it all together, while I’m not. In our culture, females who are not married by the age of 23-25 is considered UNWANTED. She doesn’t know that I don’t wanna rush it, I prefer working and saving up money, I do wanna get married when I’m ready and everything. I just don’t want to have children that’s it.

Please help
