My family and I are meant to move to QLD by the end of this year, but the guilt of leaving her is really getting to me!!!  She lived with me for 8 years and only just moved out at the end of last year...this is the first time I am living alone with my husband since we have been married.

The last couple of weeks have really had me worried...she says she thinks her depression is coming back again.  I sometimes feel she is so quick to use her depression as an excuse.  I tell her all the time that people have good and bad days, that is normal.  But she thinks she know in herself and no one else can understand.  I want to be the good daughter and just nod my head, agree and be sympathetic, but I want her to fight harder.  Because of her Asian background she is very old fashioned and set in her ways, she says I talk like I know everything...when I am just trying to help. 

What do I do?  I think the meds are only a bandaid to the problem and that she should have behavioural therapy, but she won't even entertain the idea.  She says she doesn't like people forcing her to do things...but what will happen when I am away.  I have a sister, but she is planning on travelling too...this GUILT IS DRIVING ME CRAZY, but I want to live my own life too.  I need to feel ok...but how do I do that?  Any advice would really help...Thanks guys :0)
