Hello. My DH is a problem gambler, was in recovery since Jan 2013 but relapsed yesterday. He attends GA meetings every week, and is being seen by the National Problem Gambling Clinic.
Yesterday his mum transferred some money into his account (he has a very restriced bank account) for our DD school uniform. Instead of calling me to get it transferred out he gambled it, then he chased his losses by conning the bank lady to give him some money out of our joint account.
I know i need to tighten up the financial controls for my piece of mind. And please dont tell me to LTB as thats not part of my strategy.
So finally getting to my question......I have seen lots of people on here feel that the gambler needs to take responsibility themselves for their actions and sort the mess out and also to make amends. Do they need to decide to that themseves, come up with what to do themselves or can i suggest things? ALso what do you think those actions may be?
