The problem is that you understand your entire time growing up that your primary goal as a person is to be a family man/support your family. If you get married young just because you think that's what you're supposed to do then it's going to go bad. Hell, you can prep for it for years and it still can go bad. It requires more maturity than most young people have.

In an apparent effort to get out of the marriage in a guilt-free way, he accused _her_ of being an abuser (of him + the kids) and varied other things, and involved police, courts, social workers, brought the kids into it in various scary/hard to process ways, etc. She was willing to bear with a lot, but not all of that.

got this same situation. 20 year friend. Dude married a nice girl, they had a kid. Kid is a teenager now, super nice. a few years ago dude had some alcohol problems that drove wife to leave him. he ended up getting addicted to strip clubs and blow, currently has a live in female "roommate" he shares a bed with who is a straight up escort - in a tiny one bedroom apartment. This escort also has a pimp/boyfriend who is extremely violent (beat her up, makes her walk home from 15 miles away in the middle of the night, etc), no idea how this situation works out for my friend. He does blow every weekend, often stays awake for 48-72 hours over the weekends. When his son comes over, he makes the escort leave. There is weed and coke stashed all over their apartment though. He has gotten fired multiple times over the years and always lands in a higher paying job somehow. We've confronted him a few times about it and he always claims he is going to get his life together but he keeps doing this. Drives blackout drunk as fuck around town every weekend with blow in his car.

Oh yeah, guy I'm talking about also got into strip clubs (became a regular at several); was also going to festivals and raves and the like.

Really, the pandemic did him in, IMO. Some couples were just not meant to be confined together for too long -- lots of people went mad. (I even predicted he'd be divorced by the end of it to my wife, but didn't think it could be this bad.)

the thing is, despite all of that he is a legitimately good guy with a great heart. He outwardly cares about his friends more than probably anyone I know. We've tried to talk to him about his lifestyle several times and he always thanks us for being such good friends to him but nothing changes. We are trying to convince him to buy a condo so that his son can move in with him and kick the escort out (she doesn't pay rent and he has been supporting her for literally years while she LITERALLY whores herself out) - which he and his son both want to do - but it just never happens

The kids will likely be fine over the longer run; but then, in the longer run, we'll all be dead. They've already suffered much misery, and apart from that, it was tough watching my friend wreck his life, which he'd struggled for mightily, so comprehensively.

I think all of this bears passing comment as a sad thing, for me; you're free to disagree.

Root cause error is being a shitty father. I do plenty of dumb shit and subject myself to plenty of one wrong move risk day to day, and I constantly feel guilty and launch into recurring shame spirals about it. But the only thing that really stops me from going off the deep end is being with my kids. People who are so far gone that they blow off their kids—or worse, use them as props in a divorce—are the fucking devil.

The parents are the only ones who can be said to have any good judgement with the situation. I’m sure if their kids didn’t suck they wouldn’t be having these insane crises. Usually this kind of stuff happens out of a mutual recognition that any sort of parental investment is no longer useful or constructive.
