I know. I do agree with what you're doing, I do. I even encouraged you to do it. If it was just mental illness, that is one thing, but what with the drugs and then not feeding them, that is another thing.
When I was very severely depressed, I admit I let the house go, but I didn't do drugs, associate with criminals or neglect my kids.
I always made sure they were fed, clean, watered etc even if I didn't feed myself. At my worst times, I asked my best friend to help.
When DD4 was born, I doted on her, even though my depression was still bad. I still dote on her.
So I know you are doing the right thing because your XW is in such a terrible mess with every aspect of her life and I think losing you and them is the only way she will be forced to get her act together.
I know you did everything possible to help her. I just feel a mother's pain.
