"Stop enabling her" means "stop letting/helping her do things that are harmful to herself". To enable someone is to allow or encourage someone to engage in self-destructive behaviours.
For example, if you take an alcoholic out to a pub for drinks, you're helping them do something that's harmful to them instead of helping them fix their problems = you're being an enabler.

thank you for a kind explanation! That phrase was from drama "Instinct", and I wondered the subs were pretty different from what the character said. Happy to figured out!
