19. Cut her off.

Having gone through a similar situation with my godchild, whom I was raising, I can tell you from experience, it will only get worse if you don't cut her off. By cutting him off, we were able to regain our sanity, focus on the younger kids and finally he got to a place where he can be proud of himself. It took 2 years, but he finished college, got a master's, a great job, and is now engaged. All the best things that we were hoping would happen that he just wasn't ready for. If you continue to bail her out, she will continue her descent into hell.
