Finally realising that I need to leave my husband. He's had a gambling addiction for the majority of our relationship- always promised to stop but every few years he gambles again. After Xmas I found out he had racked up thousands in gambling debts again and we nearly lost our house due to him not paying the mortgage
I know i would be a fool to stay with him but why do I feel like I'm failing my children by splitting the family up. I suppose a part of me is wishing and hoping this really will be the last time he does it but I know deep down it probably won't.
I guess I'm just looking for reassurance that my children will adjust, we will all cope just fine etc. Also plays on my mind what will mutual friends think as to the outside world we probably don't appear like we have any problems. Sorry for the rambling I just feel really lost right now and trying to hold it together for my children.
