I've decided to breaking the gambling cycle

Hello,

Just so you know, you are not alone in this vicious circle. I personally lost the plot lately and just had a baby girl and 4 kids in total inbetween me and my partner. I am scared to speak with her because i know this will distroy her more than it did me. She trust me badly and she loves me more than i deserve. Although i feel helpless, i still think i can get out of this situation or any situation. In the end we are human beings and we make mistakes. I felt awful lately and i know exactly what you've been going through. Don't give up, find strength to cary on and seek support. Lots of support. There's a lott out there and i will get it to. I wish you all the best and keep us updated please.
