Sounds like the perfect Mother’s Dad, Lee ( apart from the gambling!)
Great that you were able to salvage the best parts ( time and relationships). ‘Seems as if you are highly organized for the main part i.e. presents , food and house cleaning. The money can be replaced. Odaat. Even if it takes years.
Have you any idea what triggered you to gamble yesterday, Lee? Were you stressed about the visit from your parents? Trying to make money to improve on what you already have or escaping from something you felt you couldn’t face? This could be a time of reflection for you. I know “chasing the loss” can overwhelm our thoughts but if you have no available funds, those thoughts will dissolve fast.
Have a good day!
