Hi Melody
You didn’t ask for or want an addiction to gamble so embarrassment is completely unnecessary.
Negative feelings will get in the way of your progress back to a healthy life so put them away and concentrate on the positive actions you are taking such as joining in this community, seeing a supportive counsellor and caring for your toddler. Your husband’s words were cruel but said in ignorance – you are understood here.
