My mother has been depressed for over three years now and it is really taking a toll on everyone. Whenever I try and talk to her (overcoming depression myself) she says that it's just the way it is right now. I can understad where it comes from because between my brother and I going off/graduating college, her loosing her mother to pancriatic cancer, finding out her fathers cancer has spread, and turning fifty she has a lot to deal with. I hate seeing my dad demeaned by her anger and seeming desire for conflict. But the most distressing thing to me is that she has no desire for things to change or seek professional help. What can we do to help? Any advice is greatly appreciated.
