When all those things were stripped from him and he was facing jail time he began to want it to end. He began to want to get clean. So hang in there and let what must happen happen. She has to want to recover for herself. It doesn't matter that it is clear to you she needs help--she has to feel it for herself.
My daughter lost a good paying job, her apartment, her license, contact with most of her family, and most importantly, shared custody of her daughter. She is thousands of dollars in debt. Her unemployment recently ended. The only things left she has to lose is contact with us and her child. I don't know what else will matter.
