How do we forgive the gambler? I feel like my dad has lied to me and used me the last 6 years and even now, a few months after he told us about his addiction, he hasn’t bothered contacting me or my brother and it has almost been a month since I heard from him.

He knows I am unemployed, I am struggling and he owes me money and he doesn’t ever both to see how I am doing. He expects me to keep it all a secret from my mother just so she doesn’t know what he has done to me. I don’t hate him, but we are so used to not knowing him anymore which is the sad thing and that is what I have got used to.
