Not having the support of your own family is devastating because I'm in the same boat. I think your mom hasn't tried to know who you are. This makes it worse. What I believe family support is your fault or bad luck or what ever the only way they can help is by kindness, not correction and I don't think they understand there really are some nasty greedy people in America worse than ever before. I just don't open up to them because I know in the end it's my fault is this how u feel.
