I regret that my info was used by the cousin as an excuse to not try to get your friend help. :-(
But Katia, in my opinion you're right in trying to let it go. You sound like an extremely caring person, but you've done all you can and more than most people would have. The rest is up to them. All there is to do now is hope for the best.
Take care of yourself,
Caper

She said "he's still functioning, he's not that bad, he's just doing too many drugs". he's doing the drugs to self-medicate and he's been fired from his job, kicked out of his house, mauled by a dog, and losing friends by the second. Functioning? I don't think so. But that's his family/cousin. I don't really want to get more involved. Good luck to them all.
