I can understand what you are going through. I failed one of my nursing courses and it set me back 1.5 years. But I will be graduating nursing school in 3 weeks - Yaahooo!! It took me six years to get a four year degree. But I don't care. I can't imagine myself doing anything else. If it's really what you want to do, you won't let anything stop you. I am 26 years old and my mother still wants to control my life and keeps doubting me about my desire to become a doctor just because I now belong to a theater group.
I would just let what she says in one ear and out the other. My mother didn't think I'd make anything of myself and I just ignored all her negative comments and now she totally believes in me. Just keep on working toward your goal and when she sees your determination, she'll quit. Maybe you also need to set some boundaries with her if you're living there.
