My Mom was the same way about my brother. She kept giving him money until she was completely broke. When we had that family session she finally admitted (with a little shove from me) that because he has been suicidal in the past, she's afraid if she doesn't help him she may cause him to go into a downward spiral that might lead to that outcome. The counselor told her that she couldn't MAKE him do ANYTHING! And sometimes a person has to hit rock bottom (without the parental safety net) before they really GET IT and are able to make a change.
