    Co-dependent

    You do not owe this woman anything. She is using you to support her addiction. Just get rid of her. Moving out to a new house might be the best way, but you don't have to maintain the old house for her. You owe her nothing! Buy a new house, put your old one on the market and don't allow her to move to the new one. She needs to either sink or swim - otherwise she will use you for the rest of your life to aid her in the pursuit of her additions. Do you go to Alanon? You should try it if you don't. Alanon is for members of alcoholic's families. You might find some support for your problem there.
