Well done 3 raser
Put your reaction down to shock
When others “punished “me in the past, I ran to the casino.
I’m training myself to react differently now.
NOBODY has the power to make me gamble.
If you had gambled as a result of that “assault”, you would have given your attacker power…I’m assuming it was an assault. Or maybe an accident?
Either way gambling is not the answer and your withdrawal shows a change in your mindset.
Your counsellor is obviously doing his/her work and you are co operating.
I’m a bit apprehensive about my son coming home for Christmas. He has a way of pulling the strings-refuses to speak directing to his father or to me. Sends messages through his brother to us with a warning “ONLY tell “them” what I instruct you to say”..” I MIGHT come home but if I do I need to be collected in the city after midnight” My gut reaction is to tell him “Happy Christmas-see you when you grow up” but I believe in 2nd chances ( he has had 200!)
I will react differently no matter what he does or fails to do.
This year he will not provoke me into self destruction.
I need to keep drilling that into my brain….
As a matter of interest 3, did you report that incident to the police??
No need to answer, just think about it.
