Can I stop a train wreck?

Hello and thanks for listening

I divorced my X husband a few years ago after a 2 year separation. I divorced him due to his alcoholism and verbal and emotional abuse of me and the children. Also his absolute REFUSAL to get any type of mental health support.

He made a couple of half hearted suicide attempts when we were together. After these he was precsribed mediaction but never took it. He would behave for a bit after these events, but eventually returned to the abuse. He never stopped drinking or using pot during these times either.

He is now living in another state. He is alone. Not working. Not receiving any income support from Centrelink and rapidly spending the money he got from our divorce settlement (he got HALF of a substantial amount).

I know that he has "given" his money to a female friend of the family. I used to be her friend too but once she started enabling him and encouraged him to move states (and thus away from his children without telling them he was moving), I had to end the friendship. They are not in a relationship.

The "family friend" now doles out his money to him. He also uses this money to pay rent to live in a house she owns! So not only is he paying her 2nd mortgage from his money, she is also spending it on whatever she likes. They do not have a legal arrangment regarding this money.

Now, I DO NOT care if or if they are not in a relationship. I have totally moved on and am happy.

I know from my kids that he is seeing a mental health professional but my experience with my X is that he will not acknowledge his alcoholism - despite two inpatient detoxes and rehabs (where he came out drinking a beer...).

Is there any point in me contacting his local mental health centre and talking to someone there about my concerns with the financial arrangement? I know how this woman operates and I know she is blowing his money.

I don't want my kids to have to deal with sorting this out when the you-know-what kits the fan and it will because after 20 plus years of being married to this man I know how he operates. Without any treatment of his alcoholism and being precsribed sleeping pille etc. (kids have seen them) he is ripe to be taken advantage of.

And yes, I am a member of AlAnon and yes, I have dealt with my own co-dependency and enabling issues.

I will add that I do not need or want his money. I have plenty of my own and was always the main income earner in our relationship.
