You were made out to feel that you were the reason for her anxiety and depression. Since we develop patterns of attachment and how to relate to others through our parent(s) from an early age, this can be why you feel conditioned to feel guilty for things that are out of your control. Therapy can be helpful with getting some of the answers to these things to learn about how these issues are affecting us at present. At least, that has been helping me. ((HUGS))
