My mother has a quite long history of depression.  It's been worse this year, because she's lost both her oldest sister and her mother.  In addition, she's left her church (infighting, other stupid crap).  I know she's on an anti-depressant, but she's not seeing anyone regularly to monitor it, nor is she seeing anyone for therapy.  I'm pretty well stuck living here for about another 9 months, and I just feel lost.  I have no idea what to do to help her.  We got into a fight today and when I brought up I've tried to be there for her to talk to, she came back that she's tried, but I have no empathy.  We don't communicate well, as that evidences, and never really have.  I don't want to devote myself and my time to making it easier for her to get better, partly because I work 20 hours a week, and am currently a full time Master's student.  I've got my own emotional shit going on too, but I just can't live with this anymore.  I want to see her get better, but I'm just stuck.  Anyone have any advice?
