I'm rather surprised your exH didn't get primary custody of the kids, given his wife's history. If he's doing all this for the sake of the kids, he should consider going for sole custody.
Yes, he is a classic enabler. But you are trying to make him see the light. That's his responsibility; not your's. He plays the role of rescuer/enabler/victim. You can't change anyone but yourself.
Stay out of the mess he has with his ex. It is his place to decide what he wishes to do; not your's. It sounds like she is a typical manipulative addict. The thing is, your husband does not wish to relinquish the current role he plays in this mess.
It would probably be a healthy move, on your part, to distance yourself from the situation as much as possible.
