I'm sorry you had to go through that.

I know it's difficult to dismiss a parents opinion, but I would highly recommend it in this case.

It sounds like he has no understanding of the way the world works at the moment. I hear this a lot from people. That their parents are completely disconnected from the realities of life these days.

You're not a loser and I hope you know that ❤️

Thank you! I will (try to) dismiss it.

I agree, he doesn't understand the way the world works at the moment.

I've been through it in the past, and the best thing you can do I think, is to focus on the fact that you're doing your best, and that's more than good enough ❤️
