We don't get to choose our parents, and many of them say things that are hurtful - they are flawed people, just like we are. Deep down what your mom said probably comes from a place of fear - and as twisted as it may be, the fear probably comes from a place of worry and care. But that said, you absolutely deserve to hear more supportive words. It sucks. But we are not our parents, and be proud of who you are.
