my dad did something very similar to my sister on her graduation day. he turned a happy day into a negative one. you just gotta remind yourself that you did something wonderful. you graduated not your mom. focus on that and try and forget the guilt trips.

Im really sorry that your graduation glory was marred. Your mom's behavior was extremely immature. She made the day about herself and looks like she is having a lot of trouble letting you go. Her proprietary behavior is immature as well as she is putting her own feelings of wellbeing and security above you having a happy, independent life. Letting me go was really tough for my mom, especially me being an overparented only child, but she dealt with it, no matter how painful without putting it on me. You have really supported her. You are the only college student I know who has actually sent money home and helped to support your family. For me and most students, college is truly that selfish time in which we only look out for our own needs; this is not the case for you. But she is your mom, and I'm sorry that you have to deal with this pain
