Thanks for your response v it has made me feel better. I must admit I had the old familiar feeling of shame creeping in as I was starting to believe my ex was making good progress only to go back to gambling. The point is only he can control his progress ; but my focus needs to be on my life.

Your response has helped me see again how strong and dangerous the addiction is. How if I let it it will suck me back in!! I will take on my exs struggle instead of my own.

Writing down my feelings really does help. Talking to you does help. My feelings are what they are but I am living a better life and showing my daughter a better life with the addiction outside my door and not in it!!

I need to remember this!
Speak soon.
