Doesn't matter what we think. How do you feel about what he said? (and...was it in response to a question you asked? If so, think about why you asked..)
Are you satisfied with that? How does that change things or not for you?

I think you need more support than this board is able to offer you. We are not professionals. One to one conversations, in real time, with a trained professional, will help you set clear goals and help you stay on track to meet them.
