As you said, can't help somebody who doesn't want help. Sad but true.
She wants to be better, but she doesn't want to work for it. It's part situational depression, part mental illness and part her just being incredibly entitled feeling about herself. But until she asks for help, I'm staying out of it.
Pretty sure Winston wouldn't be safe with her, if this is how she cares for herself I'm not sure she would be able to care for him.
This is my thought too. Otoh, he is her dog, she loves him and has had him for ten years and if it were me, I'd want my baby back too. Otoh, if it were me, I'd recognize that I couldn't care for him and I'd want the best quality of life for him, even if it meant giving him up. /shakes head/
