Maybe I'll write letters before therapy and read them to her. Maybe it is me that's screwing up with communication. I'm not the best talker so it probably is all on me. You're right, I do have to tell her whatever we're doing isn't helping.

I think writing a letter will be very helpful in getting you both on the same page and deciding on a goal.
I just want to throw this out there... It is virtually impossible to find any kind of stability if someone is drinking, abusing prescribed meds or street drugs , So there will be questions that she may need to ask but its something she needs to know to help her decide what is the best way to start to help you more effectively
