    You’re young and frustrated. And your parents aren’t parenting well. That doesn’t mean they don’t love you. I suspect your mom is dick-ishly trying to get you to work harder. It will be frustrating but I suggest trying to come to some sort of compromise with her about what you want to do that she also views as “valuable”. If not and you want to rebel (I did, I moved out at 20 and kept my parents at a distance), then start working on those independence skills now. If not, you’ll be miserable and always consider yourself a victim in life, which isn’t a fun way to live despite it feeling good in the moment.
