NAH. I could be way off here, but it sounds like your mom is saying all these things because she’s stressed, grieving, and feeling guilty that she hasn’t been able to give her kids the life she wanted to give them.

I feel like she’s telling you good stories about your dad to try and make herself and you feel better about the hurt he caused. She’s bringing up all the things she’s given you because she’s ashamed she can’t give you more. I think maybe she feels like you’re the one shot she has at being a “good” mom and raising a “successful” child.

However, that’s a lot of pressure to put on you. I don’t think she’s wrong for trying to give you every advantage she can, and i don’t think you’re wrong for feeling overwhelmed by her efforts.
