Actual conversation with my mother:

[conuly]

"You know, for a while a lot of people weren't sure you could ever get a job and survive on your own, but I don't think that's true anymore."

Given that I don't currently have a job (well, other than the obvious) and don't live on my own, this was not very reassuring.

In fact, I'm quite certain I could have happily gone my entire life without ever hearing this. Really. REALLY.

Interesting. Collage depression for you too huh? Was kicked off for me by one to many "but you're to smart to fail" comments after semester 2 of collage was a whitewash because of autistic not coping with the environment.
I keep meening to write about those couple of years, but thinking about them is ... not pleasant
