Hi icanttakeanymore
Welcome to the world of the Compulsive Addicted Gambler. Sorry to read what you have been going thru. Unless he wants to stop, I am afraid that there is little you can do. <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_sad.gif" alt="" title="Sad" /><!-- s -->
You can certainly offer suggestions on where he can get help. (If he wants it)
Have you thought about attending a GAMANON meeting? This is run by & attended by relatives/friends of CG's. They would be able to provide you with some support. Alternatively try GAMCARE. They offer telephone/online.
In the meantime, keep your money very safe. As you have discovered, we will do what we have to, just so we can gamble . We are really not very nice people when we gamble.
Best wishes
Roy
