Yeah, but the things that she's been screaming at you for are such minor little things. Do you know how many exams I've gotten a failing grade on? Quite a few. Did I still graduate college and grad school? Sure did! Can you bounce back after failure and screwing up? Absolutely. If you studied as hard as you could without going berserk, then you shouldn't be ashamed. You get off the ground, dust yourself off, and head back in to have another go at it. Or take another path and find a different way to get success.

Also, the kinds of things she's screaming at you for aren't solved by screaming. Her behavior sounds like someone buying a lottery ticket, finding out they didn't win, and screaming at everyone and everything just because of that. No one is perfect and what someone considers "perfect" is totally flawed to someone else.

From where I'm sitting, it sounds like the real, core problem is she focuses more on the problems and the failures instead of the positives and successes you've accomplished. When was the last time she complimented something you did or congratulated you for doing well?
