[quote=Anonymous]OP, here is your real life anecdote. I was never in a position to financially support the addicts in our family and still am not - not that I would. If they don't want help then there is nothing you can do and you don't need to be a part of it. Everyone will talk about getting the person help and some may even try but it is useless if they are unwilling. Eventually something will give. It will be an accident or failing health or both and they will die. That's what everyone is waiting around for. That's the out. It will end when they die and people will reach out to her just enough to make themselves feel better but it won't matter because she doesn't want help. So only two outcomes to this, and I'm all for your hard-lined approach. 1) She hits rock bottom and gets real help. 2) She hits rock bottom and dies - this is the most likely. You're going to have to deal with the aftermath of this for the rest of your life so tread lightly with interested parties. [/quote]
