I can understand with all your family history how you would be very upset about the tragedy in the Philippines.
I hope you can get back on track with your studies.
I'm sure if you ask your Mom will forgive you for yelling at her.
I hope you can find some help closer to home. It does seem like you are having some stress issues.
