Family destroyed my self-esteem

We just had a video call with my uncle, my family is italian but we live in Mexico so we always make videocalls with my family, this was the first video call with my uncle in months and the first thing my mom says is look at his hair, he is also losing it, and they all laugh, my mom knows how losing my hair has affected me and still she seems to take it as a joke, my uncle just laughed and said is a family thing, i know it wasn’t with bad intention but still felt bad, people doesn’t seem to acknowledge how much the balding can affect own self-esteem.

Today’s younger generation understand that balding is not an irreversible process. Unfortunately, the last generation needs to be educated not only on the advances in the treatment of balding, but that there is an emotional impact on many men going down the balding path.
