Hi, I am new to this site but not new to trying to sort out the mess I've caused "again". My gambling used to be bad and my wife found out. I got us into debt, not massively but enough to make a difference to our lives at the time. I managed to stop by self excluding myself but as the years gone by and the trust was coming back the self exclusion had ran out I thought I was ok but over the last 6 months or so I've fell into the trap again and my wife found out again. I think I've done it this time I should of told her but I was just to ashamed. I'm scared I'm going to lose her and my daughter
