Hi Amelia

Welcome to the Forum. Coping with the consequences of problem gambling can be a very frustrating and deeply worrying time especially as you have already experienced this before with your father's gambling issues.

Have you been to a meeting of Gam-Anon? Gam-Anon is a fellowship of men and women who are husbands, wives, relatives or close friends who have been affected by the gambling problem. You can find more information on them from their website www.gamanon.org.uk

Discussing your particular concerns with like minded people who have maybe been through some of the same problems might help you clarify your thinking.

Gamcare can arrange face to face counselling for you. Counselling is a safe and confidential space for you to discuss the impacts of problem gambling on your family life. To arrange this you could call the helpline freephone number on 0808 8020 133 or contact us on the netline.

Relate also offer counselling services for every type of relationship nationwide. You can find out more information from their website www.relate.org.uk

Best wishes

Rachel.
