Single mom needing advice about what to do
CREATED: Sep 3 2019 at 17:28 by Lala1990 LAST POST: Sep 4 2019 at 07:18

I am a single mom, I have one son. My boyfriend and I share an apartment. We share one car together. He keeps taking our money and spending it all in one sitting at the casino. I feel like he has no care for our son even though he is an amazing dad, who is hands on. He leaves us broke every single month with his gambling problem. We don’t have help from any of our parents and we watc...

Online dice roll gambling addiction problems

Hello, I have a gambling problem. I am young and unemployed but I do have good savings from previous work. I played an online dice roll game. It is not a rigged game (I won't go into detail, but this much I can guarantee). This was a few days ago, and I was just curious with a simple bet of about $50. I must have been EXTREMELY lucky, because within 5 minutes of very good guesses, my...

I've tried for over two years to help him, but my husband of 6 years refuses to stop. He's gambled paychecks, student loan money, tax returns; he's lost two vehicles to title loan places, and cost me a checking account from his issue. On top of all of this, I've had to retrieve multiple items from pawn, and nearly lost our home due to his lying about rent/bills/money. He...

Depression, gambling problem and unemployment CREATED: Mar 18 2015 at 00:05 by *Adam* LAST POST: Mar 19 2015 at 13:16

Firstly I apologise if this doesn't read well, I'm tired and writing this quite late but I'll try my best to keep it short and clear. Okay, I guess this all started when I left school at 18 (I'm now 25). I completed my A-Levels @ sixth form and got poor grades. I could never decide on what I wanted to do career-wise (and still can't) but I made a last minute decision to g...

My gambling debts are getting out of control

I've had a gambling problem for just over 1yr and it all came to a head a few months back when I had to take £600 cash out using my husbands credit card to cover my debts. I managed to fob him off with silly stories about where all my money had gone but he said that he would be monitoring my Avon account (I'm a rep) to make sure it was paid and my bank account too if nessecary. Th...
