What do you want me to do now?"
Your family sounds like my family. It sounds like talking about emotions isn't something your mom can easily do.
Tell her what you would like her to do. Tell her what you need from her, whether it is to comfor t you, to understand your anger, any and all of the things you want.

I had a therapist tell me that it made no sense to her that someone would not be telling her the truth when talking about things like this. Of course a therapist will believe you and can help you.

Trusting is hard, and especially would be hard in another country. Maybe you could give the mental health system there a try and see how it goes? It could be something very good and helpful to you.
