She is an alcoholic I do believe, but she told me to never contact her again. I'd like to make amends and support her if needed. Should I and how?
Send her a simple card in the mail stating that you were rather harsh on her. Then, let it all go. Drama is something to stay clear of. It can entrap one such as a spider web. Life is to short and precious to be making deliberate bad choices.
