Am I being too empathetic or is everyone else being harsh?

My mom is newly 41 and is a mom to 5. She became a mom at 16 and had her last baby at 29, so needless to say, she had all of us really young lol. I’m 19 and just had my first baby.

Long story short, my mom has been job hopping for a while now. I’m talking about a year maybe? I can tell it’s really getting to her self confidence and I feel bad for her. Every time we talk, she tells me she feels worthless because she can’t find what she likes. My family gives her a hard time because they say she needs to find something. But I feel a different way about it than they do and I’m starting to wonder if I’m just being TOO nice or? 🤷🏼‍♀️

Basically, my opinion is that because she took whatever job she could to take care of us and then 5 years off to be a SAHM that she should do something she really likes. Being a young mom, I feel like this is how I feel too, so I get it. Not to mention, she’s in a toxic marriage and the only long term jobs she had were with him. She finally had enough and left because he was trying to control her while they worked. Since then, he gets in her head and manipulates her into leaving decent jobs because he wants her to come back to work with him. I also kinda empathize with her here too because I have been in toxic relationships and I remember being “influenced” the same way.

But everyone else thinks she should just find something just to find something.
