Has your parent ever told you that you were a disappointment to them? How did it end in the long run? Did you prove them wrong?

My mom just said my sister and I have both been disappointments and we didnt do well enough in life compared to others' achievements and her expectations inspite of all the support my parents gave me through the years.
I flatly disagreed with her and told her I have always worked for what I wanted, and even though I am currently in a low phase career wise, I am working to achieve my goal, so not to talk down on me. She didnt reply. Even so, it has remained in the back of my head ever since.

Yes I was "a bitter disappointment" to her and disowned. I don't really care anymore as I have what she will never know or have. Rather than her be honest and tell people she cut me off, she now says I landed on my feet and consider myself too good for her.
