	I think she'd be better off without you by the sounds of you comsidering the way you spoke to me.

	probably but I'm interested in curing her rather than just humouring her delusions or leaving her

	Talk to her about getting help or something for it. Obviously don't jump in at the deep end right away, test the water first, metaphorically speaking.

	Dependent people tend to attach themselves to people who will look after them. The dependent person isn’t taking care of the stuff that is their responsibility, but if you do, then you allow them to get worse. The problem here is recognizing what your responsibilities are and not taking up another’s as well. It isn’t cruel to say no to something you don’t want to do. Nor is it cruel to say no to something that isn’t your responsibility to do. The trick is having sound boundaries that help you to see what’s your stuff and what’s theirs.
