Oh! by the way. Now I do have a relationship with my family, we talk most days and I go home once every two months. Is just that now I have my space, my own place and my own life.
Don't let all those problems stresses you out. You don't disappoint your parents because you did finish school and teaching is once of very stress job. As a parent, Our kids never ever disappoint us when they're success or fail because they're trying their best to be someone. Please don't pick a new career just to please your parents because you're the once whose going to be working in that job. If you pick a career that you don't like it. You will feeling miserable every days at work. Please pick a career that you will enjoy of working everyday.
I know we have talked a little about this on twitter, but I think therapy might help you. I know you are hesitant, but maybe the therapist can help with your feelings toward your family and your uncertainty in a career. Why don't you also have a temp agency help you find a job. I think working at different work places might help you find something that sparks your passion again and give you your confidence back again. First consult a therapist and then maybe go through a temp agency. Talk this through with your mom. See if this can be considered middle ground with her.
Maybe not a therapist, but try a counselor. I went to the one at my university when I was having a tough time at the end of my degree and super lost because I didn't want to pursue what I'd studied (and feeling like I let down my parents, my grandparents, myself, the whole nine yards); and even though all she did was let me rant and say the things I was afraid to say to my parents, she made me feel a lot better. It didn't fix anything, but it just felt good to know there was a safe space somewhere
