It is not unusual to not get a response within the first hour of posting a new thread, even more so when you say you arent asking for help in your post. Perhaps a little more when you are relatively new to a board and also when you post in the middle of the night.
Please try to remember that things take time, that people may not see a post or just may not know how to respond. It doesnt mean no one gives a ****. It could just be a whole manner of reasons that are nothign personal.
So after that, hello and welcome to Vets.
I am sure that your mother would be far more dissapointed if she thought you couldn't tell her you are struggling. Sure she will be upset, sure she will be dissapointed. But they are natural reactions for anyone let alone a parent.
Why not try some of this honesty with her? Tell her why you are reluctant to tell her. Be honest about not wanting to let her down. There may be an initial knee jerk reaction as thats what parents do, but in time im sure it will be for the best and with something like this you are going to need every ally you can get.
