Hi Nick,

Hi Perna - you never mince words. But I have to agree. Nick, we are all responsible for ourselves and our own actions. You cannot change this woman, believe me. I am glad she has had the ability to ask you to intervene in the past (by requesting that you get her and take her to the hospital) however you are not in control here. Sometimes the very best thing we can do is show another person what it looks like to have good boundaries. You need to seriously sit down and figure out why you keep picking up the pieces when she keeps breaking her promises. Therapy (for you alone) might be very good for this purpose, for getting someone else's perspective on the situation.
