Literally at my lowest point after my partner walked out due to his gambling. Feel like I’m losing my god d**n mind. How can someone go from the most loving affectionate person to being so cold and withdraw
I lost my girlfriend because of heavy gambling related mood swings , if i lost i would take it out on her
and eventually it took its toll and she left
Its a terrible addiction
Addiction changes people, they are lost in their own world.
Some people run away from their mistakes ,some people face up to it. Some people run first out of fear or dissapointment in themselves.
It does cause mood swings out of character behaviour
The lengths people go to vary from person to person. A completely lost person will do the craziest things like stealing, leave people, spent money for food all sorts of bad things.
It is a truely dark and financially ruining path to destruction. The truth is unless a person takes actions to change their ways they likely to continue on their path of destruction until they hit rock bottom and ask for help
