Just from the things you have shared, I think the issues between you and your mother are worth exploring with a therapist. When I was in my early 20's (I'm 46 now), I went to therapy. My therapist would really try to open up my eyes to my relationship with my mom that I thought was "fine". I couldn't or wouldn't see what she heard.
When I first became a parent, my world opened. Then I could see what that therapist was trying to help me see.
Your mother is a little like my mom, from what I read. She seems more concerned about how your life reflects on her, than how you are feeling. Yes, she loves you. Yes, she is concerned for your well being. But there is something more.
