I dunno man. Do you think actually going through treatment will eventually make her happier, enable her to make better choices and live a better life, or is that all bullshit?
If you don't bring her anything is she going to resent you? Is she just going to call one of her old "clients" to come bring her some instead and forget about you?
Are you investing too much thought on someone you don't really know who you met almost as soon as you got out of prison and got into a relationship with relatively quickly? Is it worth it?

Many works of science fiction as well as some forecasts by serious technologists and futurologists predict that enormous amounts of computing power will be available in the future. Let us suppose for a moment that these predictions are correct. One thing that later generations might do with their super-powerful computers is run detailed simulations of their forebears or of people like their forebears. Because their computers would be so powerful, they could run a great many such simulations. Suppose that these simulated people are conscious (as they would be if the simulations were sufficiently fine-grained and if a certain quite widely accepted position in the philosophy of mind is correct). Then it could be the case that the vast majority of minds like ours do not belong to the original race but rather to people simulated by the advanced descendants of an original race. It is then possible to argue that, if this were the case, we would be rational to think that we are likely among the simulated minds rather than among the original biological ones. Therefore, if we don’t think that we are currently living in a computer simulation, we are not entitled to believe that we will have descendants who will run lots of such simulations of their forebears.
What are your thoughts on the simulation hypothesis?

Why? I mean some 20 or so years ago you probably had 50% the mass you have now. But you still had the same name then, didn't you? Were you not the same person as you are today?

Bar none, I am the most humble-est Number one at the top of the humble list My apple crumble is by far the most crumble-est But I act like it tastes bad outta humbleness The thing about me that's so impressive Is how infrequently I mention all of my successes I pooh-pooh it when girls say that I should model My belly's full from all the pride I swallow I'm the most courteous-biddable, hospitable Reverential, normal-ary Arnold Schwarzen-orgarary I hate compliments, put 'em in the mortuary I'm so ordinary that it's truly quite extraordinary
It's not a competition, but I'm winnin' You won’t hear me admit it Because I'm so timid and submissive I treat fat people like they were thin Talk simple for the dumbos I'm so humble
I'm not your normal definition of a rockstar I don't complain when my private jet is sub-par Ya mom's old, but I'll ask if she's your sister People say I'm charming, bu-but I beg to differ I feel more humble than Dikembe Mutombo After a stumble left him covered in a big pot o' gumbo I guess in a way, bein' gracious is my weakness People say I'm so unpretentious for a genius
I've got it all and I'm gettin' more But I never fall, beat 'em all 'Cause you know I'm so humble I say that with no ego I'm so humble It's just good manners They say I'm a ten, but I'm an eight at best "Plus two, " says you Not me, 'cause I'm so humble

What I meant was that it was a little ironic of LSD to tell Sploo to be "more orginal" right after he told him to kill himself. I mean, telling another poster to "Kill yourself" is one of the least original things you could say.
