Yo, welcome to the forum.

Ditto everything ObW said. You have a name, a face, and a life that can get better. You are in a tough situation if your mother is financially dependent on you, but at your age I think you need to balance your needs with your sense of obligation to her. If you ignore your own needs that is a recipe for disaster for both of you.
Coming out to yourself and to us here is part of a process. Congratulations on taking that step! Be gentle on yourself and remember you don't have to do anything drastic. Take your time. Just expressing yourself here can make a huge difference in how you feel about your situation and any changes you want to make. If there is a LGBT center near you, consider calling them (anonymously) to find out what kind of support is available. In the meantime, you might be surprised how many guys here have had similar experiences to you.

Welcome and, hey, I've been there, it does get better and easier. Don't rush in deciding who you are but, do accept it and whatever may come with it when you know for sure it's you.
