My husband is a good man. He also has OCD and is a compulsive gambler. Right before Christmas, he hit my 8 yr. old (his step-son). I called the police and he is on probation now because it was a first offense. We are trying to patch things up, but he refuses to admit to his gambling problem. He blames our financial difficulties on me "talking him into major purchases"- which may or may not be true. I think it is really all the "little things" like hitting the drive-thru every night on his way home from work, and the like. He does nothing around the house. His attitude is that he earns the money and I do EVERYTHING else. It is not that I am perfect- far from it, in fact. I know there are things for me to work on, but I am really stuck on this right now, because he wasn't always like this. When we first started dating, he made me feel more loved than anyone ever had-even my parents. I struggle with Major Depression, and that I began to like myself again was a big deal to me.
