It's called tough love Irish Dad, it's called letting her hit her bottom, the sooner she does it, the more time away, the more suffering she goes through, the relization her lies don't work will get her closer to surrendering. You have to be willing to accept it's not going to be easy, it will probably break your heart, many times over, but enabling her is the worst thing you can do for her.
