Hi Clare
It would be great to get an update from you – how did you get on with your psychiatrist?
When I was living with an active CG in my life I saw a psychiatrist because I believed the problem had to be me which is a fairly common assumption among those who love compulsive gamblers. It is only with knowledge that we learn we are not the problem but sadly we also learn that we cannot be the answer.
Your husband will not be deliberately hurting you or your family so it is right that you do things for yourself that make you happy and give you peace of mind. Allowing ourselves to be dragged down by the addiction of someone we love doesn’t help us or our loved one.
I can hear your strength is growing in your replies to Sandy. Please let me know how you are
