I got stuck on the words...hinder her recovery. Does she have recovery? from your posts I don't think so.
but that is the thing...it is her recovery, it is her menapause, it is all hers. When you open your home to someone to help them that is a wonderful gift, but it is still her program and her life to work. She is going to say whatever she wants to the dr.
IMO share with her some of the things such as herbs and things you have learned about, but it is up to her to take them or not. As with her recovery, it is all up to her.
I am an addict myself, blessed to be in recovery. At 31 when I got cleaned I lived back with my mom for the first year, it was not easy. But nothing anyone said to me made a difference, it had to come from me.
