That is all so insightful. Reading many posts helped me talk with my gambler. It went pretty well in that he agreed to at least deposit funds for bills in my account directly. You are absolutely correct in that he does not see this as a problem. Intellectually he acknowledges it is an addiction but he still feels it is controllable.  The next day after we talked he gambled $500 without blinking an eye. 

Truth be told is that I am tired. I am tired of being the only one keeping my family afloat. It is very lonely and exhausting. I really do fear for what is coming. At least I have friends and my family who support me. 

Again your words to me as well as many of the other posts were wonderful. I plan on continuing to be engaged on this forum.
