So I've posted before - my husband is a long term compulsive gambler - and things got really bad again over summer. It's all come to a head - he hasn't spoken to me in over a month, now not paying mortgage, bills etc - all communication has broken down and yesterday I told my sister what was going on (she knew things were bad in past but thought it was getting better) - sh*t has hit the fan - I've been airing my dirty laundry, he's moving out now. It's over.
Why is it when you know its for the best that it just hurts so much - feel like such a weakling? I want to be strong for my kids but I'm just so gutted. My family are great and saying all the right things - and in a way saying it out loud to them that he is an addict has really helped, but it all seems so real now. Like no way back from here.
