I am sorry you are having to deal with this problem, but know there is many others, and know that it will most likely get WORSE before it gets better. I was convinced we were ok, no gambling going on, but I was wrong. It messes with your respect and your trust you have had in your partner. It will never be the same, I have dealt with this for working on 5 years, doesn't make me an expert, but I am so grateful we are not in the same situation as we were a few years back.
You must continue to live for yourself, and not just for your husband, it is easy to say, BUT so hard to do. Mine swears he has not gambled since last Dec., but I am not sure. I will never be sure again. Just focus on your children, and yourself. It will either get better or BREAK! All my prayers~!

Hi, I know it is hard when your husband works away.I feel that this is where all of our problems started, my husband will pay the bills, and all that, but we have nothing to fall back on, no savings. He feels it is the issue of money that drives me mad! He doesn't realize it is the LIES!
Stay strong dear friend.
I think they are trying to fill something in their life that seems to be empty, just as any addict does with their drug of choice. I do know what you are dealing with. All my prayers for you and your family.

Praying for you and the kids. I'm so sorry this addiction is happening to your family. Do you work? Does your husband control all the finances? You have to protect yourself financially, that's for sure. But I know that's not as easy as just telling your husband to stop gambling, you might have to put your foot down by telling him you want control of the finances so the kids don't have to do without. Please don't give up hope, if your husband doesn't want to face the truth about his addiction, you still can. And the truth is you can't change him, but you can begin to change your existence by changing what you can. We're here for you, keep reading. Hugs
