She says she can handle it so I would let her live her life. There are resources she can reach out to that would be better than you living with her and her kids. She needs to learn to take care of herself. I was in a similar situation, didn’t have an enabling, co-dependent parent to control and came out of it by myself. Therapy, medication and support groups help too.

I appreciate your response. I am new to this platform, and there's a certain risk in sharing information with a limited understanding of the situation. We have a summer cottage, and and we traditionally spend this time with my daugher and her family. She has a supportive husband. The challenge is helping her understand the level of care she needs. She wants to do this on her own, but the consequences, I believe, both to her and her family are significant
