Associating with a lesbian

Q: Please shed some light as wether or not it is permissable to associate with a self confessed Lesbian. She happens to be closely related to me so the reason I ask is that I know from an Islamic perspective, it's not pernmissable to break family ties. Secondly, her parents and siblings condone this lifestyle as they say she and her partner are the sole breadwinners in their home. She and her partner live with her elderly parents. The so called "elders" in our huge family turn a blind eye too, as they say she assists them a lot. I have daughters and its my job as their mother to seperate right from wrong. Am I allowed to engage in conversation with her?, or am I allowed to greet her? I have been avoiding any form of dialogue thus far.

Domestic issues

Q: I stay in a joint family of one brother in law and my husband. But there is a problem with my brother in law and his wife. She does not want to stay with my parent in-laws but his parents don't want him to go nor he wants to get separated and stay with his wife and they have a son who is disabled. What dose the shariyah decide on it? She is planing to go to the shariyah court and if they don't agree, she will go to the court. 

Depression and other mental disorders

Q: I am 27 years old. I was non practising Muslim, but 7 years ago I started practising. For a few months everything was going fine, but after that doubts started in my mind. To make the story short, I did everything to cure, wazaif,medical treatment, etc.I lost my mind completely, I was crying too much, I lost my job due to depression, then I was hospitalised and doctors said its OCD, anxiety, etc. It's been 7 years I am in doubts in basic Islamic teaching like hereafter, angel, and these doubts are down rooted in my heart, that whole day I provide proofs to myself, but it doesn't help. I lost every thing prayers, tahajjud, zakaat, fasting, Ramadan, because most of the scholars says that ibaadah (prayers) with doubt is useless and doubters will be among infidels. I also have some psychological disorder like depression, OCD, personality disorder, social anxiety disorder. Please tell me what should I do? Please tell me what is this, weak faith or psychology problem? I know there is no way of return for me, but I don't want to die in this state. Till today I am trying my best to clear my mind from these nonsense doubts but nothing helps. Please tell me should I keep going like this, or there is any hope for me?
