ETA: Actually, what am I saying? Your mom needs to be IP. You can borrow their phone and call 911. Tell them your mom is suicidally depressed. She is. She needs help. I'm so sorry you're dealing with this, but unfortunately you'll have to be the grownup in charge.

So, because she won't get treatment for cancer and is depressed, that makes her suicidal? Just trying to figure this out, I didn't know that would count as being suicidal.
I can't make her do anything she doesn't want to do, unless I want to get kicked out of this house and be homeless. That's probably what would happen.
This is just another added responsibility that I don't think I can handle. I love my mom, but surely it's not my job to save her? Especially if she doesn't want to be saved?
I can try again to convince her, which I will do, but I can't make her.
Maybe this time, if she sees that she's all I have, she'll listen to me. I really don't think she knows how important she is to me.
