He admitted to gambling once but first lied about it. We ended up getting back together and things were okay for a while but they've hit the fan. He's always coming home late saying he worked late but yet theirs no money. We don't have joint bank acts because of my check but I never know how much money he has until he has none and he has some excuse. I've had to borrow money for us to live and we live in subsidized housing. His hygiene is terrible too. To the point where he disgusts me. I've asked him about stuff but he denies it all. He randomly falls asleep. Almost narcoleptic like. He's supposed to work 3am to 11am but he's been coming home later and later. I don't drive so I'm stuck here all day and a lot of times without money so if me and my mom do want to go somewhere we can't and I have mental disabilities as it. He had bad hygiene. Wears stained clothes. I.e. Wears good clothes and ruins them, doesn't shower every day, doesn't get his hair cut when he needs to, dirty nails, teeth rotting and he won't go to the dentist. I have few options. Stay, kick him out and pay my bills and literally have nothing left over or move back in with my parents. Help!! He constantly leaves his debit card here, wallet there, something happend yada yada. But yet come th weekend he races. He's terribly irresponsible and doesn't help around the house. We don't have a washer and dryer and have to go to the laundry Matt. The damn **** needed done a month ago but he can't not race and help do laundry?

Help him! Pathological gambling is disorder. It is an addiction that has greater suicidal rate than drug or alcohol addiction. He really needs some help!

I can give you contact of one center for education and weaning of pathological gambling. They also provide skype sessions so that might be an option. Here you can find some info in english about the center and skype number herctimecenter. blogspot. rs
You can also find a movie on the blog about gabling which is based on a trues story, It might be useful for him to watch it, too. It can trigger motivation for dealing with problem.
Good luck! Text me if you need some extra info!
