Well, I'm sure you already know this, but if not, I am a prime example. When in these situations, the person can be acutely aware that they are fcuking up their life, but they will continue to do so until the fcuking up wounds them in some irreparable (or nearly so) way. Until something smacks them in the face so hard it is impossible to ignore or rationalize, they will continue. I'm afraid your cousin is just going to have to learn this the hard way. I will hope for the best for her and her family nonetheless, but I expect if you do remain a confidant to her, sometime in the near future the tune will change to a minor key.
