Hi
I used to gamble small amounts (10p or so) but about 18 months ago went on betting exchanges. Lost a lot but convinced I coulkd win it back. Husband found out at Christmas.. I promised to stop but started again when I got my first pay packet from a full-time job. Husband ebventually found out again and it took over a week for me to reveqal the true extent of my losses. Husband very hurt by my lies.
I'm getting help and my siblings are supporting me having had similar experiences.
