Is it wrong for me to keep my 21/2 year old daughter from her father who has a gambling addiction?

He pays his court ordered child support but we are already doing the thing where he does not show up because he is a t the casino. Sometimes he is snippy with her cuz he wants to be a t the casino.,then there are the times when he is in a bad mood cuz he lost all his money at the casino. When he does get her he never has any money for a ice cream cone or anything cuz he gave it all to the casino. He is 70,000 in debt from this and I just want to know when is enough ENOUGH!!!!

Should I leave my husband because of his gambling addictions?

  • Posted on August 19, 2010 at 7:22 am

Met my husband when we were 20 married after 4 years of dating. I knew he had a gambling problem but I thought getting married would change him. I got pregnant 4 months after we got married and I thought (again) that having a child will change him. He is gambling non stop. Even using his dad’s card to bet online. He is using credit cards that were paid off to bet online. I even had to use cash advances on mine to get him out of debt from gambling. I complain and he gets mad at me. He says: “Do you think I like to lose?” or “I only lost $500 it’s not the same as losing $2000.” When I go to sleep that’s when he starts betting. Every month, we’re short because the money goes to his gambling. I’m tired and I feel bad for my daughter. I don’t want to have a husband like this. I’d rather work 2 jobs to support my daughter than having 2 jobs to support his gambling… please help…
How can I help him? I tried not getting upset when he loses money. I’d asked him not to and he would just do it behind my back. I took his credit cards away but he just took it off the statements and bet online. I tried to leave him numerous times but his promises are always empty.
