I am not aware of anyone in my life who is experiencing the same hell we are going through. I hope we may communicate some day to give eachother support. My husband is a gambler, but the symptoms sounds all the same. I cannot count on him for ANYthing, yet must put up with his abuse when I dare attempt to intersede with any common sense. Unfortunately, I do not have a lot of advice except to stay healthy and as alert as possible.
Confidence is a great thing.
My husband is not home as I write this. Of course this happens all the time. I've threatened to leave SO MANY times but cannot find the courage. I'm afraid I may have no choice but to leave him because staying with him is not helping the situation at all. He gets even MORE blatant with his disregard for all of us the longer I stay.
