[quote=Anonymous]From your mom's point of view, she's looking down a dark tunnel at the rest of her life. It seems natural to feel depressed about this. I think there may be nothing you can do, just because of how hard it is to fight inertia. I agree with others, though, that she could probably benefit from depression help. She feels stuck in a dead marriage, which is a very lonely place. Neither of her kids want to move nearer her, (which is perfectly reasonable on your parts, so don't feel guilty). She can choose to move near one of you, but then she's farther from the other. If she moves, it's hard to find a new job at her age, and she doesn't have money to give her more options. She can't afford to set up a new, separate household. No wonder she's depressed. She's going to have to face it, though, and make some positive moves to improve her life. She needs to know her negativity is starting to drive you away. That's the last thing she wants.[/quote]
