I don't want to just stop pushing the issue. I cant just sit back and let my friend hurt herself. She is still living with her father. Her home and family life is just awful. I would never let her family know what she is doing. That would cause her so much trouble. That's why I feel like a lot of the pressure is on me. I'm the only one she openly talks to. Every idea of other coping skills I suggest she always has an excuse for why it wouldn't work. I'm just so confused with all this. But thank you for your advice.
