Woke up today with this awful guilty feeling that i hate! One thing I've realised lately is everytime my bf is abusive towards me i gamble... its like im gettin my own back! Every time my kids stress me out to the point of me wanting too scream the place down i gamble! Of course i know these are not reasons to gamble they are excuses!
I have stopped before, when i was happy in my relationship i didnt feel. The need too gamble,
My bf of 21 years, the dad of my six beautiful children, the person ive grown with no longer wants me... He is constantly looking at other woman, he is on dating websites, and the woman he looks at are so beautiful and have great bodies! Im clearly not enough for him now.. My oldest child is in jail my other son soon will be if he carries on the way he is! My life is a mess an gambling is a escape but i hate it!
I need and want too stop! But how?
solid foundations, complete honesty and professional help.
Well done for recognising the problem exists but would be worth you call the helpline, with the situation as you describe, I'm sure one thing triggers another and getting to the root cause is gonna be tricky
best wishes and you've got through the first step
