Her back was Hurting
So I mailed Her a Heating Pad from Wal-mart
And I put in there a Book on Narcotics Anonymous
I hope that Book Helps Her Quit doing Her Addictions

That was nice of you, Freck, to send her a heating pad, but I just hope you don't hold too much hope with the book. I got word yesterday that one of my cousins died of an overdose while his wife was in the hospital for observation of her cancer.
I'm hoping his OD was accidental, just trying to numb the stress of knowing she's in her last stages of cancer. He's my age! It's hit me hard on so many levels, but those that self medicate can't accurately assess the situation and deal with it. I know many addicts are selfish, but they are still human. My brother is a Meth addict, but he has a HUGE heart.
I love him w/ all of my heart, but do I completely trust him? No way. I wish I could, but it's not worth chancing him driving my sons somewhere or being alone wih them.
He's got a heart of gold. He mows my lawn since my most recent accident, he's changed my oil, he's replaced my disposal and dish-washer, but there is always that fear lingering.
It's not worth the risk regarding my sons. I've made that clear and he understands that. I've made it so clear, he could be 90 and know I won't take a chance.
If and when she's ready, she will do it, but please know your hopes and good deeds are just that....hopes.
You know I think the world of you, Freck, I just don't want you to hold your breath...

Her Addictions are only limited by the amount of Money she has
It will never change

Freckles, You seem to still care about your X, but as long as you continue to do nice things for her, you continue to give her power over you. She knows she can call on you for things and help.
IIRC, you do not have any children with her. You are divorced and trying to move on with your life. Cut her off. You do not need an addicted person in your life. Nothing you do, send to her, or say will change where she is in life. Those are her choices and she needs to live with them.
I know its tough, but the next time she calls complaining about something...Tell her to deal with it. You dont have to anymore.
