Oy. I'm sorry. :( Which brother is this one?

The middle one - Tammy's soon to be ex.
His drug use has slowly been escalating, from pot to smoking or chewing his prescribed fentanyl patches, now back to either crack or meth, from which he had been clean almost 12 years.
He is blowing every cent he has, pawning everything he owns, and will now start doing illegal activities to get the necessary $$.

I felt, deep in my heart, that I had to give him one last clean slate; I laid down the law, and now my conscience is clean.

Last time he was doing crack, he got into the multiple hundreds of $/day, so hopefully it won't take long for him to get arrested. Jail is almost as good as rehab.

Jail will be very different this time without my mom to call 10x/day and visit every week. I don't think it will destroy him, though. The drugs will.

I understand the heavy heart but you obviously knew it was time for tough love. Prayer for you and Tammy too.

Ugh, so sorry. Know the feeling, unfortunately. It gets to the point that you want them to be arrested. In my case, it was that I wanted my cousin and his girlfriend to get arrested to get them away from my grandmother and their children. Was so relieved when they did. He's got a five year sentence, she has an 18 month rehab stint and then has to go back to court and will probably get an additional five years.

I feel bad for Tammy, but am glad to know she's leaving him and his carp behind. Even though the emotions will take more time.

Do they ever have mandatory rehab as part of a sentence in Canada, or is that a US thing?

Tammy left 3 1/2 years ago, with two partial reconciliations in the interim.
He says she left because he's sick, unable to work, and in bed 23 hours/day.
He refuses to acknowledge that it was because of his drug abuse.

His latest argument - he's an addict ... addiction is a sickness ... and her vows included "in sickness and in health".
