I think your mother needs psychological support/help. If she is having depression, then she needs to be on medication along with Counselling. She is not in a position to shoulder any responsibility like looking after the baby or cooking food. It is advisable to keep her away from the baby. Try to get some additional help for you, so that it will be helpful with your osteoporosis condition. With additional help at home, you will have some spare time for yourself which you can use to go for walk/gym or just take rest. This will reduce your stress. When you are relieved of your stress, you will not get irritated with your baby and will not have suicidal thoughts. Also take your husband's help to look after the baby. At the same time, if your were physically and mentally tortured by your mother in the childhood, you might be having some residual post traumatic stress, which needs to be dealt with. It will be very helpful if you, yourself also can talk to a Counsellor. It will help you to get rid of negative thoughts. Take care.
