is she enabeling her?

Hi,

I was wondering, is my sister enabeling my mum? My mum knows i wont tolerate her drinking and from that if i see her and shes abusive, thats it im gone (most times) because its not worth the added stress. However, my sister is still the age where she wants to get reconigition from her mother.

she will take her abuse. Now, she knows no different, but thats not the point. I dont care anymore if mum drinks, but my precious sister does. My mother and father are seperated not long and i think my sis has a hard time coming to terms with her moving out. Because of this she still want to spend time with her mum (understandably).

So from my sister staying at mums on the weekends...is this enabeling her? Also i dont know how to make my sister come to the realization that mums behaviour can only damage her more. She just wants time with her mum, drunk or not...
Any ideas on how to make my sis realize she is only harming herself would be apprichated as well...
