I saved this quote I read here at SR:

"doing something for someone that they cannot do for themselves is love, doing something for someone that they can and should do for themselves is enabling"

I'm taking liberties with that quote, but her attempting to do something she doesn't need to nor should, and asking you to help her with that definitely sounds like manipulation to me. She wants an enabler but please don't let it be you.
