Thanks again Geordie. I didn’t know about the vouchers but he doesn’t have his cards. I really don’t think he knows about them either!! Although he has gambled online the last time he gambled, it’s not his usual thing He prefers the casino as he likes to see it in live if you see what I mean. He has self excluded from the casinos in our town. He has never travelled to another town as it’s really 2 far!! I’m not saying he never would but in all the years hrs gambled he’s only ever done iy locally. I do check the lap top. It’s a family lap top do again he’s never used that as he wouldn’t want the kids finding out. He has used his phone before hence why I got paranoid after his night out!!
I am aware of the bank because a bit back he’d used a credit card and there was an amount pending. But I am not and will not get complacent again!!

Thanks for your replies, he didn’t gambled that night and he hasn’t for 4 months now!! He has thrown himself into working out at the gym!!
I am always on my guard now. That was the 1st time he had been like that. I told him the reasons I turned the router off! He did say he realised why I had done it as I thought he was gambling!! He did say that the last 4 months have made him realise what he has done and put me through!! He says he wants us to do things etc and have nice things! He is also aware that I’m never going to put up with gambling anymore and he knows I will carry out my consequences. I’m a much stronger person now and will not enable ever again!!
We have had a childfree weekend and spent some quality time together, which was really nice!! We had a good time

I just wanted to say you are truly a strong and inspirational lady!! I can’t imagine for one moment what it must be like if it is one of your children with the addiction, as a mum myself love is unconditional!! All we want to do is help but as you and your husband have done there is only so much you can do!! I really admire you!! And hope that I will be as strong as you as a mum with whatever is thrown my way!!
Take care xx
