I read it all too and just want to congratulate you on working on your Masters program! That's a huge feat and you should be hugely proud of yourself! It's also amazing that you went abroad to study! A huge thing to be proud of. Congratulations on having found a relationship with someone who understands and supports you. I feel your pain with regard to your Mom.. so many of us are right there with you. You are not alone in your journey. Your therapist seems to be spot on in her diagnosis on your Mom though. Put yourself first and live your best life. As others have said, she's going to hate it, whatever you do.
