Hi Viviwlj,
You will no doubt receive a response from Velvet and other Family members who use this forum.
I will give you my input as a Compulsive Gambler myself.
I made lots of “promises” when i was gambling, occasionally I actualy meant them! I also played the crying card on more than one occasion. Basically i did and said pretty much anything to calm the waters until I could gamble again.
Forget any words and promises, next time he is making them ask him what he is prepared to DO. Actions speak louder than words – I am talking about actions like getting excluded from that site, getting a blocker for his computer/phone etc getting to GA meetings, coming here to use support in the My Journal Forum. Full accountability; maybe giving you control of his money etc
It’ll be his actions, or lack of them, that will show you how serious he is about addressing things. You might have to make some tough decisins – don’t make them based on anythign he says/promises.
