Subject: [GAMANON SUPPORT GROUP ] Am I the bad one?


My husband's father is extremely ill and dying of cancer. He is the
hospital in Las Vegas. He is heading out to see his dad again today
and won't be back until Sunday, which is all fine. I totally get him
wanting to see his father. I just ofcourse get worried over the
Vegas thing. I told him I was worried he would end up in a casino.
He didn't respond. So I asked him very simply when he would be going
to a GA meeting again. He has not been in a few weeks. To which he
responded, "You are so fucking unbelievable. When my father is not
dying, I will go to a fucking meeting." Then he left the room where
he was playing with our 16 month old child and told me to watch her.
I felt bad at first, but, now I feel so sick of his shit. The world
does not relvove around him. I understand his dad is dying. It is
very sad for me too, I like his dad, his dad has been terific to me,
and it breaks my heart that our daughter will not grow up with her
grandpa. But that has nothing to do with his PROBLEM. I feel like
he gets to check out when ever he wants, go see his friends, do what
he needs to do all because his father is ill and this is so tough on
him. But what about me, I don't get to check out when ever I just
feel like it, I have to take care of the baby. I really hate him for
all the tremendous stress the gambling and pot smoking addiction have
taken on me.
