hi fella, hope you’re feeling okay,or at least a bit better, by the time you get this.
you are in a really rough position for anyone to be in, let alone a guy of your age (i presume quite young) and at the start of your own life,facing all the crossroads which will shape your future. it must be a really tough call having the battle of wills at home and feeling frustrated and helpless at those situations, whilst also battling your own addiction and other problems.
mate, try not to become overwhelmed. little by little, step by step, day by day. be supportive and kind within your family as i know you do, don’t take the bait when faced with the stubborn and awkwardness or even the nasty comments, there is a LOT to be said for taking the high ground and letting things wash over you, esp. things that are said in the heat of the moment and are more often than not, not meant and are soon forgotten. its little wonder you have formed your addiction, hearing the evolution of it makes sense, but also the escapism (which i know for me, is a huge factor in my gambling).
it will get better. i believe that. hang on in. all the best wishes coming to you, i know theres a very very decent guy there with a heart of gold.—– Levi
