She’s my cousin. I love her. She’s flesh and blood.

She sounds like a toxic relationship. I did so much better in life, had much less angst, when I learned not everyone can be “fixed” and that it wasn’t my responsibility to train anyone to be an “adult” when they already were one. All we can do is encourage or discourage behavior.

With distance between you both, tell her there are bad and good people in all occupations. Additionally, tell her she is stereotyping a whole class of people, so she is smearing honorable people just like she believes police smear minorities. She is a bigot—tell her that.

I'm sure you loved the last pet you had to have euthanized too.....
