She refuses to discuss depression, however, or consider anti-depressants. Her answer when I brought it up: "This isn't something you can cure with a pill"
And you say- "I agree. A pill wont cure it. I understand that it is much more complicated than that but here is the number that so and so (trusted person) recommended who can help you sort your feelings out and eventually feel better."
Her response, if it is anything but ok...IMO...requires directness-
"You are a wonderful mother and this time with the children is precious and the days of your life are to precious to spend feeling so awful. For your sake and theirs, please consider seeing this person."
