El Pilot, I've noticed that your mom is hurting your confidence. I might be a bad word of your choosing for saying this, but maybe it's time to man up and move out of your parents house, seems like you're old enough.

I'm a regional F/O and at first my mom didn't support my career ambitions, but the fact I wasn't living at home I was able to tell her "Mom, I love ya, but I'm going to do this with or without your support." It was the end of that.

Get a cheap room to rent and just focus on flight instructing, and STAY SINGLE!!!! Last thing you need is another person that might be detrimental to your career aspirations.
