Over the last 2 years I have been gambling on and off. Something in the last 2 months has made me spiral. I have felt sick and guilty and decided I needed help and turned to my dad for some guidance and started making a plan to stop and fix the underlying issues. The same day my husband found out and asked me to leave the house. I understand why he is mad I broke his trust and put us in a hard place financially. We still haven’t talked (it’s been 3 days) and I’m really scared I am going to lose him. I am also scared I won’t be able to change my life. I just feel so lost and I want to fix everything I’ve done but I don’t know how. I have disappointed everyone I love and feel like I have no one left. Trying to find a therapist and a support group for now.
