We can not be responsible for caring for others when we struggle to financially be responsible for ourself. Sad when people end up in situations like that.
I had that similar situation with my EX- H. Stay & myself be destroyed or leave & let him destroy himself. I contacted his parents after I left but they wanted to hear nothing of it & I was their "bad guy" for leaving(never been happier than after I left). Sometimes relief totally overshadows any bad feelings about what we "have to do" for our own best well being.

But Eskie, it doesn't even sound like she has the faculties to be making these decisions about care for herself. It's unfair to say she has to suffer the consequences when she is too ill to be making the decisions. She sounds like she needs to be hospitalized, involuntarily, if necessary.
