She probably thought she could "play mommy" and it relieved a little of her guilt. Let her lead this and do try to get her to counseling. Seems like you've tried and now it's up her. It does sound to the uninitiated as if she's going through midlife or a medical problem but, well, that's for her to find out.
Sheild your kids from the madness. If she's acting like this it may be best not to have her around for awhile. Don't let her guilt tripping bother you. She's just spewing and you need to find some teflon for your soul. You have found a faith so use that, it will help. Don't forget to apply the "soul coating" often so that you can let a lot of her issues just slide off. Remember, they're HER issues. Don't let them be pushed off on you.
You did very well on this visit, now kick back, work on your car and let your faith guide you. Have a nice, relaxing weekend!
