Hello theskyisyours,

I am so sorry to hear about your mother's situation and I'm so proud of the way you have handled things.  You have a wonderful approach and mind-set.  

Often times, (especially women, as studies have shown) take comfort in religion when they feel powerless to take control of their own life.  You have seen this first hand in your mother.  Unfortunately, it sounds like you have done everything possible to show her that she can take charge of her own life.  

In the end if she wants God, a husband, or someone else to fix her life, she will most likely wait till that happens instead of doing it for herself.  

Perhaps you can use yourself as an example when talking with her.  You did not wait for your parents or someone else to "save" you.  You took charge of your own life without much family support or a husband.  Leading through example is vital.

You should definitely keep doing all the things you are doing already, but in the end she will not change unless she wants to.

Faith
