Hi everyone,
I am new to this so bear with me as i try to sort out my thoughts...

My mother has been dealing with depression/suicidal thoughts for a couple of years now, she has attempted suicide once. No one in my family takes her problems seriously. I was recently at her house and found on her computer where she had been keeping a journal about the past few years. Evertrhing she is going through and how she feels daily were in this journal. Almost every post at the end says "i wish i could die". Of course this is VERY concerning to me and i spoke to my husband about it. He said that i need to tell someone and talk to her. I know deep down in my heart that she will try again and evenually suceed if I dont do something. I just don't know where to turn for help! I have talked to her in the past and tried to get her seek help but she refuses. I need help and support from the rest of my family but I don't know how to make them understand how serious this is. You would think after 1 attempt by my mother it would have opened their eyes. I also have a 16yr old brother and this affecting him badly also. He lives at home with my mother and their relationship is very tumultuous b/c like I said he is 16. My parents are married but my father just comes and goes as he pleases. If it wasn't for my mother being suicidal im pretty sure he would have already divorced her, but these games that he plays are not making things better. I have also tried talking to him about all of this and yet again it changes nothing. Im running out of time/options and have nowhere else to turn. Any suggestion?
Thanks
