Advice on my mum and our relationship

[nagsandovalballs]

I've just finished a teaching contract at a prestigious RG university but I'm struggling to get a job as there are so many excellent competitors out there. I'm applying for many jobs and not even getting an automated response, never mind an interview. However, I have got an interview today with a v good RG university. This is the text my mother sent:

Really give [RG university] your best, otherwise you are wasting your time and theirs not to mention letting down the person who gave you a glowing reference. Hope today went well. You looked good. Good luck. Xx

For context, I'm 30 yrs old. What do you think of this text? I'm trying to work out some things about my relationship with her and would value objective feedback.

OP, I think at the moment you should concentrate on destressing for your interview.

Remember that you are brilliant and you will be an asset to any employer lucky enough to realise what you will bring to the job. Remember that if you don't get this job, you'll get another one. Enjoy the train ride and looking around another part of the country.

This is not the time to stress about your relationship with your mother, IMHO.

I didn't get the job

I am so sorry

You will get one, you are very highly qualified.

You had a lot on your mind yesterday, and had not had enough sleep.
Have a good night sleep before the next one and treat yourself tp something nice....

Don't think of the mother issues, which I know is difficult

I'm sorry, OP. But at least you got an interview.
