Enabling is also a sin as it is both temptation and raising them into more sin, and constantly treating egregious offenses as forgivable is the most enabling thing you can do.
Meaninglessly suffering so you can pretend you are a "Good Christian" is probably one of the reasons why the Church is so fucked these days.
She's already ruined herself. There's no enabling to be done.
treating egregious offenses as forgivable
What is to be forgiven if not something that actually hurts? Anything that calls for forgiveness is going to be an "egregious offense". One must be able to forgive and love one's enemies even as they pile the lumber on your burning stake. This is the law of love of our Lord.
By letting her keep her family despite ruining all of them, you are in fact enabling her bad decisions by removing the major consequences of it.
Also you should try a dictionary, it'll help with the word "egregious." Because there are an endless amount of things that call for forgiveness without reaching a level of outstandingly bad. I know this might be hard, but the world isn't black/white, 1/0. There are in fact levels to things. Though considering you moved from calling for reconciliation, now to forgive and love, and are treating them as the same thing means you should add a thesaurus with the dictionary so you know when words aren't synonymous.
The burning stake has meaning to it, letting yourself be used and taken for a fool does not.
You keep changing the options to suit your own argument. Condemnation is also not reconciliation nor love/forgiveness.
Each one is a very different path you can take in regards to this type of sin. You can love/forgive while also removing them from your life, without a need to compromise nor retributive condemning.

Granted, I assumed her regret for the sake of argument. Between mercy and condemnation, though, the Christian option is clear.
