My husband although a fantastic dad and husband, has always had a problem with 'betting' he bets around £200 every saturday the same on a sunday and during the week more if its a festival. He was convinced he had fail safe stratergies. The problem came when I gave up work to have our children as his job brought in a fraction of what he gambled but he never told me. We are now four years down the line and after a massive bust up I found out how much he had lost (all of our savings £40,000 + the childrens savings of around £6000 and debts upto around £15000) I have gone back to work to try to help re pay these debt but neither of us bring in much money. I lent him £500 to pay our mortgage last week and have just found out he has been back on the gambling websites again, he hasnt confirmed or denied placing a bet or paying the mortgage and went to work a day early without saying anything (he works away for a week at a time)
My problem is that he swore to me on the name of our dead baby he would not go into a bookies or place a bet unless I was with him and now he's used my poor baby in such a sick way I dont think I ever want to look at him again. what do I do!?
