That's just the problem though Cass...what IS the right thing to do?
I feel that by supporting her even after she's ignored my advice, I'm somehow engaging some kind of positive reinforcement of her bad choices. Would I be more effective in her learning from her mistakes if I didn't try to advise her.
Plus there's the issue of doing the right thing by everyone else in my life, and, I believe that my future husband should be my number one priority (her man is her number one priority - always has been since we were tiny children) and that her disasters are going to have to be dealt with on her own from now on.
I just can't get away from feeling like I should keep trying to help, even though it can be a destructive thing for my own happiness and well being.
