Hi
I am considering asking my CG partners mum for support but im worried about how she'll react. She knows about the gambling but I know she'll be devastated if she knows he's gambling while living with me. Before he moved in she warned him that it was either me or the gambling and thst he couldn't have both. I don't want to cause any problems but I think her support would be helpful.
Hi Poon10
This sounds like quite a dilemma, perhaps you would benefit from speaking to an adviser on the freephone helpline on 0808 8020 133. You can also use our free counselling service to help you work through what you would like to do and how you might care to handle your current situation. http://www.gamcare.org.uk/support-and-counselling/free-counselling
All the best

Poon, go for it. Your partners mum sounds like a good, wise strong woman, hence as advised before get all the support you can muster and this could also be the catylist your partner needs to come to his senses....
Hey love....
Yes....I would say speak to his mum...
I'm pretty sure my son is a CG I know he has always gambled and I have even caught him in the betting office before now and the last time I made him tell his partner. Now he either has stopped ( which I find hard to 100%believe ) or she is more naive than I think she is because she swears he is not gambling.
So I would say speak to his mother because you really need to be singing off the same hymn sheet.
