Hi there,
I’ve just come to terms with the fact that I have a gambling problem, and I don’t know where to go, and I don’t have anyone to talk to about this, I was wondering if you could help me please.
As far back as I can remember, I have always gambled, and it wasn’t a problem, at first. Over the last 6 years my gambling has gone beyond my grasp, I have two children who I idolise, my eldest has just graduated from university, and I have a younger son in his senior year of high school, but I have let them down and cannot stop crying, I feel so isolated as I have ruined every friendship that I have had, through lending money and not paying it back, that I now have no friends at all, the only people I ever see are my children and I cannot put any more of this on their shoulders.
I have seen my eldest son struggle through university, and I have not been able to help him in any financial way what so ever through me spending every penny on internet gambling, I have also taken money from him, when he has none to spare,and for that I am eternally disgusted with myself, to his credit he has never scolded me for this (maybe he should have). I am now starting to dip into my youngest sons savings, and I need to stop before I rob him completely also.
I just have nowhere to turn and nobody to turn to, I stay inside the house everyday as I am very alone, I used the internet sites as a window I suppose to seek the outside world and conversation, but this has done nothing but throw me further down the black hole that I feel I am never going to get out off.
Any help from anybody would be really appreciated. Please help me to get over this, so I can be a better mother
