I have not given him any of my money for around 18 months now and now that i know he is a gambler and lied to me all these years i wont give him any more. I am just at the stage where he owes me £2,000 of my money which i lent him plus there is £1500 left to pay on the loan and he keeps promising me some money but i now know i most likely wont get it.
I just spoke to my younger brother about telling my mum soon and he thinks its a bad move as he feels it wont change anything; only give my mum something to be mad at. But my younger brother hasnt been effected by this like i have, he hasnt lent my dad any money and had a secret to keep all this time plus he is getting support from my mum which i have never got.
Have got my first counsellor meeting in the morning which would be good, first time have been able to talk to someone about this in person.
