I just dont know what to do and I feel stupid 😂😂😂

My mom came to my room to tell me to stop my business because it consumes my time. But I really like doing my business because aside from getting money, I have something to make myself busy than overthinking about our family problems. I just shut up while listening to her. She didn't even want me to see my counselor again and wanted me to open up with her. But I am not comfortable with her.

don't feel stupid. you're an adult now, your decisions are your own. even if you mother thinks those decisions are a mistake, they're YOURS to make. it's not disrespectful to her to express that you're enjoying what you're doing, you should do what makes you happy. and if anything, i think you should be seeing your counselor to discuss things like this, because i know you're feeling conflicted. maybe you can even set up a meeting with your counselor and your mom so your counselor can act as an intermediary to help you talk it out. it's hard to find your footing on your own when you've spent your whole life up to that point under the authority of your parents, and sometimes it's hard not to feel guilty when they disagree with how you're living your life. i hope you two can come to an understanding.
