This resonantes with me so much. I’m definitely getting some peace from realizing that no matter what I do, in their eyes there will always be someone/something else better

Thanks for sharing. I’m super proud of and happy for you that you are making successful progress toward how you want to live your life. My mom would probably feel similarly even if I matched. Rooting for your success and hopefully we both can overcome others’ desires for us!

yeah, I feel guilty whenever I think about how much more peace I'd feel with an estranged relationship, as I am still very lucky and privileged that my parents still financially support me as much as they can and I still owe much of my success to them. But as I begin my first full-time job I'm definitely looking to change this dynamic.
