She is in denial like you said. Only she can make up her mind.
I hope I did not make matters worse for you?
Give her an ultimatum. It is called tough love.
I don't really know...
Am so sorry that she and you are in this spot. You can walk away from her. Tell her that you would get together for coffees.
don't know.
We will support you what ever your decision is.
sorry trying to be helpful....don't know that I am.

VERY helpful, bizi! Everything you've posted to me about my friend has been helpful. I would so easily allow myself to be abused - thank you for reminding me not to allow that. btw, C. lives in a different state, which makes it easier to cool our friendship, at least until (if) she gets on a healthier path. 52 years is a long time for a friendship, so I won't give it up entirely. But sticking to Facebook for a good, long while works for me.
