Hi Maria,
I imagine you feel devastated. Your husband however will probably say something like "i'm only doing it for you dear" and "its just a blip, i'll win it all back". You (and I) know that this is rubbish but he believes it totally. Whilst I can empathise with your husband, the best people for you to talk to are other people who have been in your situation. There is a sister organisation to Gamblers Anonymous (GA) called GamAnon. This is for persons affected by a gambler. Surf on down to the "GamAnon" site at <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.gamanon.org.uk">http://www.gamanon.org.uk</a><!-- m --> and they will be able to answer your questions from their experience.
