Hat, I wish/hope your friend/cousin knows how lucky she is to have someone like you on her side. Counseling would be great and I think in your last post you inducated you have counseling. I am sure any counselor if given the information you are giving us here on this forum would tell you to draw some seld preserving boundaries. And…if you find all this affecting your health and mental state of mind you very well might ought to. I am just wondering if that might also be a big stressor to you moreso.

Addiction, cunning, baffling and powerful (borrowing from twelve steps). from what I have read he is her ticket to actively using and your are her light to the future of maybe not using. Its is the angel on one shoulder devil on the other shoulder perspective for her. The more I read of this situation the more I wonder if you really need to move to the side for two reasons for your own health being and maybe let nature takes it’s course and forse her to make a choice quicker. But like I said you might find that worse on yourself.

I was one of those addicts taht’s family turned all communications off and It made matter worse I believe though Good Luck my friend.
