When do you know you are done?

It's been a long while since I posted. I've had a 14 year journey with my niece.

Felonies, incarceration, 2 in-patient treatment sessions.

on the good side, graduated college, paralegal certificate, held a job for a few years,

ADD and Anxiety meds.

Then, she relapsed with boyfriend, her dad died, she moved in with an unsavory group of people, went bankrupt trying to "start a business" (get rich quick thing) and now she's back living with me.

She is delusional, thinking she will be making $85 million in passive income doing affiliate marketing (insane) within the year, while she is sleeping all day, up all night, and can't even complete the projects she does get on fiver.

I am ready to just say, leave. Not in anger, but realizing (finally!) that I am not helping her. there may not be any help for her.

The big thing is - I just don't think she wants to grow up.

Maybe I don't want to grow up - and realize how really helpless I am.

I would be grateful for any and all comments to this.

How do I know when I am done? How can I have peace with it.

Love to all,
Troubledone
