Pride and Spite

A little over a week and a half ago, I applied for a therapist position. I recieved an intake call from their HR manager and was able to arrange an interview last week. This position is a boon: competitive starting salary, compensates gas and mileage, full benefits after 90 days of probation. There's also growth opportunities, CEUs, trainings, &c.
 
I recently landed a second interview for later this week. My father told me that he and mom were happy and proud. Dad came up to my room last night and quietly told me this twice. My mother, has yet to speak to me at all, and she's upset. Sounds proud, doesn't she?

Congrats! Give your mother time; maybe she realizes she's been rather awful to you and now that it seems you've gotten a job after so long (and a good one at that) she doesn't know what to say, especially since it could mean (I hope!) that you'll be moving out. If your father is speaking on her behalf, I would accept that for now. Even a small victory is a victory!!
