My now ex wife tried to commit suicide again last night. Supposedly she was kicked out of her boyfriends place yesterday due to his roommates complaining (I think she thought she could stay there for free..). She was upset that she had to move back in with her dad, and sent me a bunch of texts about how I needed to help her by giving her money..
I told her sorry, but I'm no longer the sucker who pays for her to be unemployed while she talks to / sleeps with other guys, as in our marriage.
She ended with a "Maybe I'll be better off dead.." comment - which she's tossed around before.
However this morning I received the text message that she overdosed on prescription meds and was in the hospital, followed by being committed to the psych unit.
I've been completely drama free since last summer (when we decided on the divorce), and haven't felt a knot in my stomach like that in awhile.
I hate to say it but I warned her family this would happen. They dismissed it, and when she was in the hospital for the suicide attempt last year - they insisted on playing hangman and other distractions rather than talking about/getting at the real issue. She's even since discontinued counseling and her antidepressants.
Oh, and around 2 weeks ago she texted that she was sorry for cheating during the marriage, regretted it and us ending, and that she will always love me...
Anyway that's the update. She texted me visiting hours/the phone number (in a mass text), but I've decided I'm not going, and won't contact the family or get involved.
I'm thankful every day her and I did not have children together..

What we know for sure:
Your ex is very troubled.
Now that you are no longer in the picture her family cannot blame you for her problems.
It's a blessing that you never had children together.
Pity her, but limit your contact and continue to move on with your life
Wow. I couldn't imagine that phone call/text. Thank goodness for 'privacy' mode on my phone. I don't receive texts/ calls from people between certain hours for reasons like that. If I received a text like that at 3am, I most likely would not have slept another wink. And on a Sunday night nonetheless.
It is too bad your ex is in such a bad mental state. But, sounds like she sure put herself in that situation.
You are best off not responding to her. I think the no contact is the best policy here. Giving in to guilt will only enable her, and allow yourself to be manipulated and used.
She tried REALLY hard to guilt you, and this hospital situation ? STAY AWAY!
