Save the guys family, then proceed to execute his methhead buddies.

Sounds like he might die of constipation. It's not uncommon when awake that long. It's a real nigger way to go

I'm guessing he also knows about your other house. Would likely be a disaster if he went looking for her out there in the sticks with no help nearby in case she needed it. You might consider helping her get to a women's shelter far away where they can care for her and the kids while finding her employment and a place to live. If he cleans up, she can always reach back out to him.

Just keep it simple imo. Keep people safe. Don't make it personal. Don't be violent but stay armed.

Meth addiction can be cured if he is properly defenestrated. I feel bad for your predicament.

Do you have a wife or girlfriend? And what is your relationship with your friends wife like?

I see you're getting a lot of advice. I'm not going to tell you what to do. I'll just mention some considerations that I take seriously.

1. Getting involved in anything domestic is dangerous. Emotions run high. I've spoken with many police officers in my lifetime. Mind you, these weren't inner city precincts - more like small-to-middle-town America. They have all reiterated that domestic dispute calls were the most dangerous. One of my dad's good friends was shot in the face after simply knocking on a domestic call. The point is, when you start tweaking with a situation involving a romantic relationship (and children between them), you could be playing with fire, not for the least reason that since you are his friend, his reprisal might be even more frantic.

2. If you are getting a lot of this information from her (that is, secondhand), you should always remember that women are excellent at playing games. They are machines built to use sympathy to get their needs met; that often involves pitting men against other men, even if that means turning you into her rescuer. I'm not saying that's the case here, just calling it a consideration.

3. One moral issue here is the responsibility you come by from influencing the split. If you aid her and the children in leaving, they may be in a situation requiring help. The situation with the father might be bad, but it might also involve income, a house with heat and food in the fridge. I think people sometimes fail to register the responsibility they accept, especially when leading women away from one situation and into another. Bear in mind the possibility that she might look at you as a rescuer, and she might depend on you for help that you may not want to (or can't) offer.

I was once told by an old-timer, "You can take in every stray dog you find, but eventually one of them will bite you."

I don't take this to mean that we shouldn't be giving, or that we shouldn't do right when the situation calls for it. But, for me, it definitely means think really hard about consequences. I don't have experience with meth users, but where I come from alcoholism was a major and frequent problem. I knew some people who thought they'd be knights in shining armor too, and not only didn't they help the situation in some cases, sometimes they made it worse and negatively impacted their own lives. There's a lot to consider in these situations. For one, you have to ask yourself what kind of a woman winds up with a guy who is an alcoholic or a meth head - sometimes that kind of woman can be dangerous.

Any way to get the friend into a detox?

Flaryan you’re a good guy. Stay safe.

It sounds like you're doing the right thing. He probably doesn't know it, but he's lucky to have you.

The world is ending and most people are going to suffer or die.

Should you strap your healthy ship to a sinking one your ship will sink too.

You cannot save everyone. Focus on those you have authority over because those can be saved

Is she trying to pivot to you?

There's no compromise with meth users, especially ones that cook. My experience has taught me no half measures work combating this scourge. Once you are involved in a meth fueled drama you and your loved ones are targets for harassment. Especially if the user has government affiliations.

literally a cuckold

Not reading the comments, but never get in the middle of a domestic. The woman will pick him 10/10, and leave you out to dry

Because his momma died?! What in the frick… Tell your friend you’ll help his family but he’s a piece of shit that isn’t your friend anymore.

If he is high as hell on meth, offer him a few fentanyl pills and the problem will solve itself.

Had this happen to me almost exactly a year ago. Stay away man. Women have hundreds of women's shelters and services around the country. If you get involved it will fuck up your life guarantee it. Think of best case scenario.

Have you considered calling the police? Getting arrested might be the only thing that will make this guy get clean. I know a couple of people who had major meth problems and finally getting arrested is what saved their lives
