Right now she needs a friend - not a new boyfriend. Be kind and supportive but stop having sex with her. You are making things worse for both of you. She is emotionally unavailable right now. She needs to clean up her life.
Appreciate the value of the relationship that you do have with her. And hopefully, down the road, it will grow into something more.
