My dad was a gambler all the years of my childhood, he was followed by loan sharks, we moved frequently all about the country, leaving friends and belongings in the middle of the night, .... Now all of my fears and out of control, controlling behaviors are surfacing due to my son. He had a year of recovery but relapsed recently, and I am scared, feeling controlling and crazy, thanks for hearing me, great to have a common ground in which to vent.

Hi there,
I have been dating a sports betting addict for almost 3 years. It has been tumultuous to say the least. He is a super nice guy to everyone else, but to me he can be awful at times. All he does is watch sports, bet through various sports betting websites i.e. bookies and this is my first time dealing with something like this.

Hi.

My husband is good at games... really really good at games... so here is my question: What is the difference between a profession and a problem? A lot of people say money but I am not sure that is correct.

Approximately 10 days ago, my fiance (with whom I've had a very happy 7-1/2 year relationship) admits to me, out of the blue, that he has a compulsive gambling problem and needs help.

Hello all - just need to talk a bit about something that's bothering me, and here I feel like maybe someone can understand offer the advice that comes from experience.
