Hi Momo
I am sorry but I am unable to give legal advice such as what you could expect to happen if you divorce your husband.
I think that the only way you can get the answers you need is to see a lawyer and I believe the more evidence you have to show, the better.
In my opinion, keeping a journal of your husband’s poor behaviour is good when you are considering going down the legal path – your thread, so far, would be an excellent starting point for a journal. It is easy to forget incidents, I think, especially when there are so many. Writing things down can often get confusing thoughts to stop swirling round in your brain but please keep the journal in a safe place.
I think that it is important that you find a lawyer who understands addiction and is not likely to be discombobulated by a manipulative gambler, especially a compulsive gambler who is also an attorney.
I hope you will keep me updated Momo, your situation concerns me very much and I wish I could give you better answers. If only there was a magic pill to cure addiction but unfortunately, they do not exist.
One of my favourite quotes is ‘You may never know what results come from your actions but if you do nothing, there will be no results’ – Mahatma Gandi. You are doing well Momo
As Ever
