Hi Clare
I wanted to write quickly to let you know that you have not only been heard but your cry for help is understood completely.
Unfortunately I have guests staying with me until Wednesday so I cannot sit down and write the considered reply your post deserves. I hope that other members will reply to you in the meantime but whatever happens I will reply to you asap.
You are not to blame for your husband’s addiction. He is caught up in a spiral of poor behaviour that is unacceptable. Compulsive gamblers never ask for or want the terrible consequences that come from their placing of bets and they do need the right treatment to control the addiction once it has grown, as is happening with your husband.
I have brought up my thread entitled ‘The F&F Cycle’ which I hope will help you see that what you have described is recognised on this site.
I will write again soon – you are not alone. Well done writing you first post which I know could not have been easy
Velvet
