I think it is very important to look for support in area's where we can get it. It would be best to lower your expectations of your mom. Looking to her for support is like going to a empty well to get water, it's not going to happen. I would see if there is a NAMI or DBSA in your area, you may find some support there. I would suggest only discussing your Mental problems with a therapist or Psychiatrist, for me it has just been to frustrating to talk to anyone else, they just don't understand. Forums like this are great, here is where I come. I would stick to generic answers for your Mom, like I am just dealing with my illness, or I am just trying to do what my Psychiatrist tells me too.
