No, Jenny. CGs are not magicians . Just bluffers. And some are cowards who prefer to project their own weakness on to vulnerable people who allow themselves to be treated as punch bags or scapegoats. That is why you need to PROTECT YOURSELF, Jenny. Gambling is only one of your ex’s problems from what you say. What he is doing is blatant bullying . In my book, every bully is a coward but we aren’t supposed to judge, so what I’m saying carries no malice. It is intended only to help you protect yourself.
Is there any way you can avoid exposing yourself to his cruelty and abuse? I don’t use Social Media because a lot of what I hear about it is anti social and in my opinion it often cuts out real communication and can be used as a tool to abuse others. Can you report this to the Site owners? I really don’t know how that works Jenny but some “Whizz kids” can flash their wares , then disappear by the sound of it. A great outlet for cowards isn’t it?
It certainly could not be good for your daughter to be exposed to it either. Can you limit her visits there?
I have started to attend GA and I really have great admiration for the young guys there. Some are fathers who have lost their “partners” and are trying to win back their trust. If your ex ever comes to his senses, he might find himself in a room with “real” men where he can talk out his feelings instead of targeting the vulnerable in cyber space from the protection of his hidey hole! Sorry, if I sound hard on him Jenny but I don’t want to see every CG painted with the same brush . There are genuine people out there and here on this site who live with the “disease” called Compulsive Gambling and who are aware of the hurt and damage we have caused. Don’t give up hope that your guy will, one day, be among the group who are on the road to recovery.
In the meantime, avoid “toxic” contact and MIND YOURSELF!
