My family fell apart because of my mom's depression

Hi. My family fell apart because of my Mom`s depression. My parents are divorced and my Mom refuses any kind of help. I feel guilty over it. I am really worried about her. She tried to kill herself last year and she is on medical treatment. I just wanted to share my problem.

Hi. My Mom is depressed too, ever since Daddy died. He died of cancer. I was depressed too, but life goes on and I have to think of other, living people who need my love and care. But she doesn`t feel that way. She refuses to take meds, or to seek professional help. I talk to her every day and I think her condition is somehow better but it is really hard to tell. I am trying to convince her to try relaxation exercises. I hear these exercises are very effective.
