I agree Punkin. You are stuck right here.

You know this is tough.
I see this in my W just as you describe. She chose selfish choices, self destructive choices...
I will never know the pain she is in. You will never know the pain your H is in.
The only thing we do know Punkin is they are in crisis. The degree of which varies depending on a lot of things.
Issues from childhood, mental health, hormones whatever.

But we can decide not to be part of the problem.
We can decide to love them in the best way for them right now.
