Hi sorrygorry, stop, take breath. Don't leave. Everything is manageable. Call all the numbers and talk to someone. My advice would be to get off the gadgets. If you can't afford online blocks call your internet provider. There is always a way to stop if you really want to. You have to fight the urges, admit you're beaten. Cancel cards, get rid of access to money. Anything! It is true gamblers love gambling more than anything else. It's a choice, you have to choose not to do it.
Thank you I will try but he's still adamant I gave to be out in 15 minutes . I don't know what to do X I understand it's all my fault can't even think straight . I've asked can I have till morning but he's said no
From one mother to another Stand up and fight for your children, his rage will pass, money comes and goes as does debt companies cannot take what you do not have and your husband cannot kick you out as you are your children's guardians in a court of law. We all make mistakes, time does heal, together put steps in place. I wish you strength during this low period in your life X your kids need you even if you don't see it
He had watched me walk out an towards town with no idea where I'd go then text an said the kids are upset so I can stay in the dining room on condition I stay in there away from him tilli i have somewhere else an gave me a MTH maximum. He's in work tomorrow we'd Thur an Fri so he won't be in till late I've sold my laptop tablet an some other bits today for basic gas an electric just need to try an sell more now to cover rent .
I'm currently with a mental health nurse from the recovery team from when I was admitted last year so will ring her tomorrow.
The kids are looking at me with such hurt I thought I was at rock bottom last year but this is a while new level . I'm a evil horrible person people would kill to be in my shoes an I've just let it all go !!!
