My wife had back problems. She was heavily medicated. The doctors alleviated the pain. Now she is on heavy doses of narcotics. I had to send her away to her brother's because she is so mean to everyone around her. She won't listen to reason. She blames everyone else for changing around her but she's the one who changed. She is not the same woman I married. We have 4 kids and they haven't seen their mother in a week and I know they are starting to feel the void of no mom around. I feel helpless.

Sounds like addiction to me.... When I put something in my body that feels good, my brain sreams out for more, more, more. Everything else becomes secondary then. Once that vicious cycle is started, I will be very angry, irritable, and mean to everyone around me because I am obsessed with getting more. When does it stop? When I can't get anymore and then a while after that until balance is restored in my system. That means no sleep for awhile, depression, and anxiety. Your wife will still be the same person after she is completly detoxed at a rehab facility. They will give meds to help her through it and then when she comes home she will be okay and probably ashamed of her behavior. If she continues to take the drugs, it will only get worse.
