it is really hard to make this step of detaching when she is a working the streets in the ghetto. i don't think i have any power other than somehow being her friend through this. yes, i am terrified at the idea of leaving her there alone.
I have been purposely staying away from your threads. I will say this once again.
I LIVED THE STREETS FOR ONE AND ONE/HALF YEARS until I FINALLY GOT SICK AND TIRED OF BEING SICK AND TIRED AND DRAGGED MYSELF TO A HOSPITAL.
You are not being her friend. You are being her enabler. Each time you talk to her, give her a lift, you give her the thought that this time she will somehow, someway, MANIPULATE her way back into your home.
You are using her as much as she is using drugs. YOU ARE NOT HELPING HER.
Please, please, for your own sanity, for her possibly finding recovery, go NO CONTACT.

Can't say it any plainer.
