Hi JDS
I hope that you will find that you can talk here and know that what you are saying is understood. It would be really good to communicate with you in real time because I do know what it is like to live with the addiction to gamble and feel unable to talk to anyone so I hope you will join me in the Friends and Family group tomorrow (Tuesday) 20.00-21.00 hours UK time – nothing said in the group appears in the forum, it is private and safe.
If you want to talk to your mum then in my opinion that is what you should do. Whether she is happy or not about you lending your father money should be immaterial – you are her child and you need and deserve support – I hope you get it.
I am glad you have arranged to see a counsellor to talk to but in the meantime i hope you will keep posting and hopefully feel less alone.
I will walk with you for as long as you want me to do so
Velvet
