hi
my partner is a CG and it took me 2 years to get him to realise he had a problem, then another 18 months to get him to get help!
if he is denial, there is not much you can do. he has to admit to being a CG and wanting help. it is extremely tough to watch a loved one to 'self destruct' and suffer, but you will suffer even more if you start giving him money or allowances. try and get him to go to CAB to see if you can get any help with his debts, but DONT pay them off. because if you do, he will rake up the debts again unless he realises he has a problem.
if you need any support or more advice, PM me
