Hi Jenny
Nobody could judge you for wanting to believe in the person you loved once Jenny – if it was easy there would be no need for this forum.
It is the behaviour that accompanies the gambling that hurts those who love CGs and your ex’s compulsive gambling behaviour is still too near the surface making it too easy for it to bubble up.
It appears to me that maybe he does want to control his addiction but abstinence alone is not recovery.
I am not surprised you wanted someone to support you when you sister-in-law died as well as your lovely wee doggie – at such times many of us turn to shoulders that maybe are not the best ones.
I’m going to stop there because it is time for me to open the group but I hope to write more to you tomorrow – I just wanted to get a quick post off to you.
Velvet
