Hello Emma there is a forum dedicated to support for friends and families of gamblers on this site. (This forum is specifically for supporting the CG’s ( compulsive gamblers)).If you go back to the main page and click on the F+F tag it will take you there.

I know that the people who do use the F+F forum get a lot out of it and find it very helpful and supportive. Hope you find it.

Geordie.

Hi Emma
On this site you will have the support that you feel you don’t have around you because you are understood.
There is a Friends and Family group tomorrow evening Thursday 20.00-21.00 hour UK time and it would be great if you could join it.
In the meantime please tell me more about you and the situation in which you find yourself. Does your husband accept he has a problem? Is he in a lot of debt? Is he moody/angry/deceitful?
I do know how hard it is but it helps to know a little more than that which you have written, in your initial post, so that I can give you the support that is right for ‘you’.
Well done starting a thread, I know it isn’t easy

Hi Emma
I hope you are still reading – I don’t think my reply to you was as relevant as it should have been – sorry I do get muddled at times.
Please write again – the early recover for a CG is difficult for those around them who are trying to get it right. When a CG is active, all F&F want is for the CG to stop gambling which will hopefully lead to plain sailing from then on, a time to rebuild a relationship – but I know it isn’t easy – for the CG or the person who loves them.
F&F have swings of feeling, as do CGs, in early recovery, different mine-fields open up and I believe this is one of the most important times for F&F to share with those who understand.
I’ve missed you in the group and I hope you will join us again because I am limited in what I can say on the forum without hearing your unique concerns.
Velvet
