I was thinking about what I said, and though you may be judging her attitude correctly, felt like I should add that when we are depressed and isolated from our family from a long time that can make us feel they don't love us. When I was in the hospital, I really was surprised about how much time and expense my father, sister and brother went to be with me. When you are depressed and suicidal---you do not feel worthy of love...Being away from a loved one for a long time magnifies and confirms the feeling.
