Eventually you'll just end up hating them anyway, so it's just better to cut ties while you can at least still feel sorry for them.

It really is hard to see both things happen. I've had friend who've tried to rob me in the "look the other way" situation I described, I don't want to go through that again. Not because of the physical loss from robbery (he didn't get away with it, btw, I talked some sense into him), but because he would NEVER had done anything remotely along those lines to stranger let alone one of his friends.

Brother, I understand why you want to cut ties, but remember there is something deeper there that is making her use it. Believe that. You don't have to hang out with her, but at least answer her calls if she should ring you, because you never know, that day you pick up the phone could be the day you save her life. I get bitched out for never turning my phone off, but I have peps that are special to me that have issues like that, and I don't want there to ever come a day when I have to look myself in in the mirror and say you should have, could have, or if you had. I couldn't live with myself. :) Some friendly advice. You don't have to be part of her nefarious dealings and doings, but just be there as a shoulder.

Both of her parents are addicts so I think it's more because of how easy it is for her to get it than it is with deeper issues. That's not to say living with parents riding the brown horse doesn't lead to problems, but I think the former is more likely. She hasn't been excommunicated yet as I'm still testing the waters with how far she's going with it, but I'll definitely keep that in mind. Maybe not delete her as an FB friend if things turn for the worst.

Strange response to a heavy post.

What's happening with Paul is just as heavy, so any reprise of him in MBer's thoughts is fine by me.
