I would like to first start off with a little about me. I have been a "sleeping Christian" for the last three years give or take a few months due to some extreme mental trauma I experienced. Over the last few months I have been trying to reconnect with God and get back on track, still haven't found a church. At times I feel numb and uncaring and have difficulty having faith, so, yes I am depressed but was getting better. In my path to reconnect with God I have been getting attacked by Satan almost in every which way, from problems at my job, to my ex, my pets, and now to my mom.
My mom and I are/were very close and talked to each other several times a day, she is my best friend. She was the only person I could go to for sound advice and reasoning. She has been going through some things herself over the last two years. Her sister and brother assisted in the literal murder of her great uncle by refusing him treatment for an illness he had. All for money. When my mom tried to do the right thing and confront her sister about these wrong doings, her sister turned on her and also turned much of the rest of the family against her (too long of a story to post here). This sister continually causes problems for my mom and the injustice of the whole situation has quickly compromised my mom's health.
The stress of it all has been eating away at her for two years and she can't seem to put it behind her. She now suffers from fatigue, many of the bones in her feet are breaking when she barely does anything, she is angry all the time, threatens suicide, running away, and has a tendency to take simple things very personally (even if no harm was meant). She won't go to the doctor due to financial reasons and no health insurance. She thinks none of us want her, which I tell her we do all the time. I know she is depressed and I have been praying with her and for her, trying to be the one person she can get through this with.
Friday, this sister of hers had the nerve to call my dad and ask him if he wants a guitar, he told her no and that was about the extent of the conversation (keep in mind none of us have spoken to her in two years). He was around his co-workers and admitted to my mom that he had to be nice to her because they were there. (If it were me I would've went somewhere out of earshot and told her to never call me again). Anyway, my mom is now leaving my dad, a marriage of 32 years because he didn't yell at her or hang up (or in other words, support her as a husband should). In her defense he has not supported her about other things either. so it is a combination of things.
I do think, the sister should be confronted about all the damage she has caused, but also believe there is a time and place for it and this was not it. I tried to reason this with her and that maybe my dad made a mistake. So, with that being said, my mom now refuses to talk to me (or him) because I was not supporting her well enough either (and not mad enough at my dad), and I feel she has disowned me, which is killing me and she knows it.
So, here I am, she and I need prayers, logical advice as what to do next. Please, please tell me if you see something I have done wrong, should I have went totally against my dad instead of giving him the benefit of the doubt? She threatens often not to talk to me anymore and that is not something I want, now it has happened and I don't know what else to do, there is no worse feeling in the world than your mom not wanting you anymore. I am afraid I am breaking from Satan's attacks again. I asked myself, what would Jesus do in this situation and I am pretty sure he would go and try to make things right, but I am out of words and she won't talk to me.

And I will be praying for you as well
