Hello My DH has a gambling problem. He is bankrupting us. We are landlords so our business is mainly cash that he himself collects. He uses markers when he...
Hello, I'm new to this group. I've gone to two Gam-Anon meetings, when we lived in the States. We are overseas now. The irony is that while natives are banned...
Cece, welcome to our group and I am so sorry you had to find us. I am not clear from your post if you actually work a job or if you and your husband work the...
Hi Min, welcome to our group and sorry you had to find us. Are your finances protected from your husband, in an account that he cannot access? An account in...
Wow, that was fast! We've maintained separate bank accounts since he bounced a check from our joint account in our first year of marriage, and after he drained...
Min, it seems to me that building up your own finances is critical. When you said he paid "His" rent, is he paying half and you are paying half? Are you...

I hope you will be able to get your father to attend a Gamanon Meeting where he can express his thoughts and hopefully gety appropriate feedback from people...
In many instances, when a spouse of a CG leaves them it is a bottom for the gambler and they realize how major their problem is. If they really want to keep...
I have gone through this situation before. Please don't move back in. If he does not quit, the problem will only get worse. When my daughter was six months,...
Hi Pupni, If I recall, your husband wasn't even that concerned about you leaving. I doubt your father understands the situation well enough, he is most likely...
