I can't think of anything else to add to what everyone else said!
Yes, I can - don't ever take anyone else's assessment of you too seriously; everybody has their own agenda. Your mom may need to defend your dad, who knows. It's your life and if you want to be lazy, or spend it skydiving, or become ambitious and move up, take control and do whatever you want.
I think the therapy idea is really a good one. Your self esteem needs a good kick in the butt, and that's too hard to begin by yourself.
