help with dealing with the shock of finding out

[Guest]

Since your husband has confessed to you, you have done all the right things like taking charge of the money - this is a very important step but you must be aware that us compulsive gamblers can be very sneaky and if still actively gambling can usually find ways of getting money to gamble with. Your husband needs to seek help and if you are near a gamblers anonymous meeting can go along and get the help there. There is also meetings for the families of compulsive gamblers at GamaNon and you can find this information on this site by going to the meeting section if not there you can ring the GA hotline.
I wish you and your family the best.
