Gambling

[Lifeasacrazymum]

Hiya my name is lou I have four gorgeous boys there my world I split up with there day because of gambling he was wasting so much I lt was awful living my life no knowing what money I would have.... Then I was by my self twi years then met my bloke who I'm with now been with him 5 years and we moved in with him he's amazing with my boys they love him I moved my full life to live with him I new he used to gamble but I just found out other day he has been gambling gor neally a year now I am so shocked I don't know how to be with him I'm mad upset and devastated too.... I really don't know him I feel he's lied to me about it doing it behind my back sneeking around I lost my feeling for him I hate been hurt by all this... He has blocked his self from the bookies and he said he will come to me if he would do it again I just feel my history is repeating its self again in so many ways my boys are my life I can't belive I'm going through this again

I’m sorry. It’s a really hard thing to find out.

If he’s not already, he needs to access support. It’s free from Gamcare and other organisations. Just coming to you won’t be enough.

Make sure your finances are separate. Don’t rely on him saying he won’t do it again - it’s not worth the risk.

But most importantly, get support for you. You can call them too and access one to one sessions.

Wishing you luck

Yes he has contacy gam care and blocked his self from all the bookie near us too he's cut his credit cards up... I have said you come to me If u feel you are going to go in it's getting my trust with him again I have my barriers up at min but trying not to show it

Please don’t feel you have to be too trusting - follow your instincts if something doesn’t smell right.

Glad he’s engaging with support.

Take care.
