Molly, just checking in on your. Are you okay? debs
Molly, you doing okay? Sending a hug your way. debs
Praying for you and your family.
Molly, thanks for the heads up on the Intervention program. I will set the DVR to record this tonight. I pray hubby will watch it. And all CGs and all spouses of CGs. This is no life for anyone. God help us all.
Molly, sending you a gold star.... Love... I have a plaque in my "safe" room - the place where I now sleep and spend a lot of mine and Jordan's time to stay away from the contention in our home... - the plaque reads "Love Never Fails." I believe that, it never fails. My love has been pure. Wanting the best, believing the best. But I am now awakened to the fact that I have to protect my son and ensure he is taken care of. My husband in no longer capable of making wise decisions on my son's behalf... he is too caught up in his fantasy world of gambling (and now cyberspace women). I love... But for me, now, after 17 years of marriage, and 10 of those years being full of gambling, and all the deceit that goes with it, I am realizing I can love from afar and let the "chips" fall where they will. From every compulsives gambler I have ever spoken to, I hear a CG pretty much has to loose it all before they awaken to the fact that they have reached the bottom. For my hubby after 10 years and thousands and thousands of dollars of debt, he has yet to admit he has a gambling problem. And absolutely will get no help... says he doesn't need help... I do. :-> (denial at its best). I will always love him... but I have a responsibility for our son (and to me) to ensure we are taken care of and not thrown out on the streets of destitution because of a loosing game called poker. I will love to the end. And am sure I will have loved by doing the best I could and with all I could for my family. I would give nothing more for hubby to stop. But I now know I cannot make him. Best of the day to you and your family Molly... I am so glad I have this site and friends like you. thanks for checking in with me... I really did need a hug today! debs
I am married to a compulsive gambler. It has been a problem for the past eight years. He created at least 60,000 in debt (I'm sure there is more I didn't know about). He is also lying to cover up all he is doing: still gambling, secret bank accounts and loans. We've married 10 years and have 3 children. Do I stick around and wait for him to realize he needs help or do I pull the plug?
I have a 9 year old son who has been diagnosed with ADHD for 2 years. He is a wonderful boy who can be so good most of the time, but he has his moments.
My son has dyspraxia.
