i suggest that you really encourage her to enter a rehab. There are good ones and not so good ones, but for the most part they help. it is almost impossible for anyone to get out of a hole like the one she is in without professional help.
if that is not something she will agree to, there are support groups, maybe you can offer to attend with her…also, i suggest you find a church or some spiritual help to keep yourself strong.

Yes, encourage her to get help. But since you were able to get your son do not give a dime of financial support. Untill she gets her life together you will just be feeding her habit.

your right about feeding her habit,,i feel so sorry how our lives have changed.
nothing like losing your family to a bunch of crackheaded alcoholics.i’have tried to convince her of rehab before i filed for divorce,,she doesn’t need help,she says..you just can’t convince her anything is her fault.i thank you for your help,just hearing another view is helpfull

I see that you want to resolve your problem.

I see that it isnt a problem that you can resolve and that it belongs to someone else.

The trouble with junkies is that they lie - it is easier and less painful than reality.

I can only assume that there was something good when you first had your relationship

My take would be to write down the facts as you see them - not with additional caveats they have to stand on their own as facts.

Propose a solution but break it down into small steps - like for 3 months I want you to write to me and propose how you are going to get sorted out and if I am convinced at the end of it then we can take the next step … (based on you setting the next goal) perhaps meeting for a coffee etc.

Thats my advice - if she is full of **** it wont get past step one and you wont have to feel guilty anymore - sorry thats all there is to it.

God doesnt want you to do s*it for her. If he would, he would interviene himself. She is your ex, thats it. She has to do it for herself and her children, if she doesnt, shame on her. You didnt take her to raise. You have a child to take care of.

single dad of 8yr old,

I seem to know exactly what your talking about. I myself am a single dad of three in the same situation. I actually found your post by typing the words “God’s help for ex-wife”. It is sad to say, but it seems they don’t want help. My exwife seems to be going down the same road as yours, and when I help, it seems it is not what they want. Unfortunately, the kids suffer and we are left alone trying to help our children, who only want love from both parents.

I recieved a call last night from my exwife , who was crying, and asked for me to come pick her up from Louisiana, where she was staying with her abusive boyfriend. After bringing her back home and offering to let her stay one day at a time with nothing in return, so she could straighten her life out, she left today with the same guy. All this without saying two words to her kids. I was willing to pay rent for her own apartment as I know staying here would be uncomfortable, and pay her bills til she got back on her feet. Before I could even mention the idea, she was gone as quick as she arrived. All I can do now is ask for God to help her and guide her.

May God also give you and yours guidance.
TX Dad of three
