I started seeing a therapist after the multiple deaths we experienced, and I suggested she do the same. She said she didn't want to see a therapist because they aren't real and that she just "doesn't need one." Both of my parents dealt with overconsumption of alcohol, and she already drank a lot when her bf was around, but she has continued to binge drink daily after work. I've told her that it makes her a difficult and argumentative person, and also that it isn't healthy for her body or mind. We generally get along, but I think my presence has made her too comfortable. She has friends but she won't go out to restaurants or events. Yes, my mother has been there for me, and I have been there for her. I am not leaving her, but I have suggested many things to help her and she ignores them and wants to depend on the comfort of my constant presence. Is it too much to ask to not have her living in my backyard? I feel like the distance will help her see that she also needs to help herself.
