I think it's wonderful that you have someone who is caring and willing to support you. I think your mother is more concerned about your happiness, not about avoiding expenses or anything like that. Isn't it true? Because it is just the way I get it from reading your post.
Getting a job is much easier than making people understand what really happens.. and your family seems to know it all and care deeply.
I for one have a job but it doesn't wanna help to solve any of my real problems, so I think you are lucky

btw jobs come eventually anyway..
From what I know, finding a right T sometimes takes time. There is nothing wrong with trying.
I hope you feel better soon
