I can relate. I am 53 years old and my mother has never paid me a complement. The only thing she can do is criticize and tell me how I will never be able to do that.
I just do it anyway. It's my life, not hers any more. Her negative talk takes away my serenity, so I limit my conversations with her.
Don't let a parent or realitive get to you like that. Do it anyway for YOU. You can be successful without your parent's permission.
