He addmited he had a problem but now is in denial

Hi everyone!

My partner of 5 years admitted to me last march that he had a problem, he only admitted it to me as 10 thousand pound of my money had disappeared.

I told him to go, said I couldn't stand it anymore and he said he was at rock bottom and would do anything to get himself better.

This xmas period - we have had other problem (him not helping as much as he could with our 3 year old, constantly falling in and out of sleep throughout the day due to gaming until 3am etc)

So I decided to separate again.

With hope to rekindle our relationship, I decided I would get help from a gamberling councilor as I truly believe "I'm too hard in him" and I need help regaining trust.

I spoke to the councilor today, and said I need help trusting him again. They asked me to explain the situation.

I explained "he plays raffles on Facebook which are harmless, and I need to get out of the mindset that this isn't him gamberling"

The councilor basically laughed in my face.... explained this is NOT a person that's in recovery? Thing is, I'm confused as my partner  won't admit that the raffles are a problem, but he admitted it last time when he bet on the horses etc.

He tells me "I don't gamble heavy anymore and I don't want to, I have a little fun on the raffle"

He won't give me control over his finances as he says "I'm trying to control him" i explain he is still gamberling as a ex alcohol can't have a little bit of wine etc and he says that I play the lotto, so I'm a gamberler and everyone else who plays it is. 

I'm stuck in 2 minds, maybe it is harmless raffle fun and "the professional" is wrong or maybe the professional is right and I'm over thinking.

I told him I was getting a call and he asked why? He then never asked how my call went etc. 

I love him and I wish he loved us enough to stop 😢

We have a 3 year old daughter. 

I currently have no finances tied to him which is a blessing.
