My mom has closed angle glaucoma... does that mean i am more susceptible??

First I hope your mother got treated for her angle closure glaucoma. Second, since you are a first degree relative, you do have a chance to also develop this disease. Get a yearly exam with an Ophthalmolgist and make sure this part of your family history is talked about with the doctor. Good luck.
