235/70/16. I have been looking online for some used ones, but used tires are not cheap like they were 20 years ago. Folks seem to think a tire with almost no tread is worth $70 nowadays.

My wife is mad as a hatter, but is handling it really well. This has been something she has dealt with for 14 years. Me just almost 11.

Hope there’s some way you can help, but I know that some people just need to bottom out before they can start to turn things around.

I agree 100%. However I believe bottoming out for her will include a casket. I think she will probably either try to harm herself or run away. But, Like Zack Mayo, she's got noplace else to go. Running away is against the law too so she won't get her way then either. If she gets picked up by somebody, probably a dude, she'll get something. Most likely more than she bargained for.

Thanks Joe. We will survive probably. 2020 strikes again. This is just a nice parting gift for those of us who did not win.

This is pretty feeble, but it might help to look into AlAnon (for family members of those with addictions.) Apparently it’s pretty good at helping keep things in perspective and creating some boundaries and protection against the hurt and fear.

Best wishes for you guys as you go through this mess.

May. She will go to her dad's for the summer, then off to college. Then jail, porn, pregnancy, rehab, etc.

Man I hate to hear this! Went through similar issues with my little sister. She’s had 2 kids taken away by the state apparently, in and out of jail, drug issues, man issues and no telling what else. Sometimes you just have to cut ties, it hurts and you feel extreme guilt but there is only so much you can do. The last time I talked to my sister, she was wanting to move her and her man(drug and arrest issues) in with me and my family, “until they found a place.” I told her no because I have a family(young kids) and the last words she said to me were “F you then!” and hung up on me! That was about 6 years ago and I haven’t heard from her since and have no idea where she’s at? I think about her constantly and the guilt I feel is hard to deal with but I tried to help her numerous times, only to be lied to, stolen from and put in the middle of some ridiculous drama. I had to make a decision and I chose not to expose my kids to the craziness. All you can do is stay strong and pray that she grows up, wakes up and starts making better decisions.

The only difference is that a child is entirely different than a sibling. I know we aren't talking about his blood daughter but still, has to be tough watching this. Your decision was really the only one to make that would preserve any kind of sanity for your family.

Been there with my sister, thankfully she's allegedly doing better now.
