>You Understand - I've actually never read any fics with Mai interacting with her family, at all.
There aren't a whole lot of them, probably because her parents aren't named in canon and that makes writing them a bit awkward. I've never seen her mother portrayed sympathetically, although sometimes her father gets a softer treatment. Sozin's Bay (http://blue-lacquer.livejournal.com/tag/fic%3A%20sozin%27s%20bay) has her father allowing her to have lunch with a banished Zuko. ab igne ignem capere's Mai-centric flashback chapter (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6074881/7/ab_igne_ignem_capere") has her father be doting.
