I'm a 23 (tomorrow) year old male. My mom never really cared about how I did in school. She never questioned anything, never asked how I did, and didn't even know my major until I was a junior. My senior year, I rented a house using money from my internship over the summer. The main reason I did this was to save money, because I would have to take more loans otherwise. The problem with this is that I did not have a meal plan. 

With all my money going to the school and to rent, I had very little money. I struggled with food, I was hungry all the time. Eating the bare minimum everyday. People saw this, noticed I barely ate. I very generous fraternity had a program to give hungry students food, and I got some. It was discrete and you don't have to have the shame of signing up.

This wasn't a whole lot though. Rationing this food really only lasted a week, and it still was far less than what I should have been eating on a daily basis.

I asked my mom for some money. I told her other students get money from the parents, why not me? She told me off. Made me feel like trash for asking her for money. She said things like "times are hard for me" which is not true. She also seemed to care little for me, and treated me differently from my siblings. I told her how hungry I am. How I wake up and go to sleep hungry every night, how I became a charity case. All she could say was "I'm sure it's not that bad."

It's been one year. I still feel terrible about the way she refused to help me eat. How do I help ease my pain?

Mom's attitude towards me made me feel bad about myself. I still feel bad, but don't know how to let her know how
