HI WM
Your posts should be about you; this forum is for people just like you.
There is no shame in saying that you have had enough, the shame would be if you could not come and say it here. What do you want to do WM, do you want to walk away?
Did you find a Gam-Anon group for you – what support have you got from family and friends?
Gamblers who enter a gamble-free life do struggle with complacency – it pops up when they least expect it, unwanted and hard to resist. Maybe if your son had continued to get support, he could have talked such a common problem through – I firmly believe it is not too late for him. I don’t think that 6 sessions of therapy would have come close to changing the situation that I had in my life, it seems to me that your son, like mine, needed a lot more support than that. GA is always available, as is this site.
I hope you find a new job soon but until you do, please concentrate your energies on you, your health and well-being.
I really do understand what it is like to reach the end of your tether, it would be great to ‘see’ you in a Family group where we could talk in real time, there is so much I would like to ask you, so many thoughts I would like to push around with you.
As Ever
Velvet
