Make sure you are not enabling her . Housing? There are still a few out there. But it only works when she does the work. It is sadly not enough to know you have people you are the reason they cry. We cry too with each drink, hit, fix, or a pill that is stronger than we are. We all need to hold our own sit with it a bit then put it down. Just because we made a mistake doesn't mean we have to carry it for life. Learn from it be a better person. We can only offer up words and prayers for you and your family you are living with it as it is yours to carry. Love, pray, call authorities when they drive off drunk, try for mental health to help out. If she is willing and wanting to get better. Get in a support group for your self , you matter too.

@melissa1963 Thank you Melissa. Her housing and finances are fine. I do pray for her. I am a person of faith but also of science (big time). She is neither. My brother and a doctor from one of her brain surgeries talked her into attending "Raleigh House" supposed to be the best in the Denver area. After I heard that I sent her an email. Very lovingly and humbly told her that her health , relationship with her sons and freedom (staying out of jail) all depend on her going through with it. She can either have a good future of a life or potentially lose it all if she does not do the outpatient program. She has cut me off since. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Everyone who shared we cannot do it for her seems to be right on. Thanks again.
