Re: [GAMANON SUPPORT GROUP ] Tremendous Hatred, PLEASE HELP ME!

Yes, I think it's O.K. to leave because he is deceiving you on a continuous
basis. However don't do it while you are so angry. Give it a couple of days
until you calm down, go to a gam-anon or al-anon meeting or as many as you can
right now. I know I've made decisions out of anger that I've regreted. Do you
have a sponsor? I also know the feeling that you hate them at times, but I think
you are just soooooo angry. Take a deep breath, take care of yourself and pray
to God to give you the strength and courage to do the right thing, Regardless of
what he does. Hang in there, and keep posting to vent. Remember, this too shall
pass. dddddddd

Subject: [GAMANON SUPPORT GROUP ] Tremendous Hatred, PLEASE HELP ME!


My husband is a GA and has a pot smoking addiction. His father is on
his death bed with cancer. I know now is a bad time to leave because
of his father's condition. I just can't take it any more. My husband
has been to Las Vegas where is father is in a Hospice and has taken out
money to gamble at least $800 in the last 6 weeks. Today I got my
credit card bill with a $1000 dollar cash advance that he tells me he
loaned to his massage therapist at work. I am devistated how could he
on my credit card. He has the nerve to tell me sometimes you have to
make executive decissions that are within are means. I hate him. I
want to leave now. I have a 17 month old child, I am a stay at home
mom. How dare him think it is okay for him to do that, how dare he.
Please help me, I feel like I am the crazy one. Is it okay for me to
leave, even though his father is on his death bed, I just can't take it
anymore.
