"Behind the Music - DMX"

So......I watched the "Behind The Music - DMX" special that came on last night on VH1 and it was PRETTY interesting! Unfortunately it showed the rise and FALL of the career of Earl "DMX" Simmons. He had the typical life story of a rapper....someone who grew up in the projects in a life of poverty who got into trouble and eventually made it in the rap game.  His life story was NOT shocking and it was a story that I have heard OVER and OVER again.  I was just SHOCKED to know that his ex-wife Tashera started dating him even despite the fact that he ADMITTED to her that he was using crack and cocaine! WTH? That was the part of the story that stood out to me the MOST! Why would you start dating a man that is using crack and cocaine?  There is NOT that much LOVE in the world! Unfortunately, their marriage along with DMX's career was pretty much RUINED because of his addictions.  When you REALLY love someone sometimes you have to step AWAY from them until they GET IT TOGETHER! Eventually, Tashera had to step away from EARL! LOL!  Anyways, it is CLEAR that DMX STILL has some issues that he is dealing with...but....don't we ALL! I just pray that he gets it together because he is VERY talented and definitely has something to offer the music world if would just stay OUT OF JAIL and OFF of drugs!
