  I’m living a nightmare.  Husband won’t even give me checks anymore. Lies about getting paid .  I’m working 4 jobs to try and keep myself and daughter afloat.  He steals from me all the time.  He gets credit cards in my name without my knowledge. He owes soo many people money. I need halo in leaving him for good

Hello Farrah,

Welcome to the GamCare Forum,

Well done for reaching out and talking about this, I can imagine it is an immensely stressful time for you right now. It sounds concerning that you are struggling to secure or ring-fence enough money to feel stable with your daughter. If you are based in the UK please do call our Helpline on 0808 8020 133 and speak to an Advisor who can go through the different aspects of these challenges and what we would suggest in more detail. You can access support for yourself as someone effected by another persons gambling. If you are not based in the UK you may wish to find support in your country from our list linked here: International Support Contacts - GamCare and at www.gamblingtherapy.org

You are not alone, wishing you kind peer support,

Louise,
