[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 92684, member: 1550"] If my daughter was still using drugs, and asked me for help preparing her for rehab, I'd spend all weekend helping her and giving her 100% of my emotional support. It's when she got out that I'd let her go and learn. Sure, if she needed a little support, and was still SOBER, I'd do the Mom thing, but eventually you have to cut the strings. My daughter is clean now (and your niece can get there too). She gave me advice once: "Never trust a drug addict." But we have to try. There comes a point, though, when we also have to detach. If this were me, this would be the last time I'd help her. But she'd get this one last time. Good luck to your niece AND your sister. This has to be hell for her. I lived it. [/QUOTE]
