If she's not willing to admit she has a problem then there's not much you can do. If she's willing to admit that it's a problem then you can help her. Set up accountability for her ie get the money in your account so she can't access it etc. Selfishness is part of addictions. Addicts always have selfish behaviors. They can only think about themselves until they get what feeds their addiction.

Tell her if she doesn't go with you to get help then she will not be welcome in the home. I know this sounds pretty harsh, but gamblers can drag the whole family down, down, down, and most times they don't care because of their addiction. It is much like drugs. You will have to use some tough love. She is not being responsible so you will have to be responsible and protect the rest of the members of the family and yourself. Stay strong, and good luck!

People who are addicted to gambling are blind to everything else around them.
If you want things to change, then the first thing that needs to happen is your wife needs to admit she has a problem, this is the first and most important step, next she needs to seek professional help.
I hope this helps a little.

You cant be serious! Answer to your question...stop gambling..get some counseling..grow up! Why should your wife support the kids, you and your gambling, all on her own? A bigger question would be..WHY??? is your wife still with you????

I hate to be the burden of bad news but gamblin is very addicting, its worse then any type of drug, she has to feel herself that she doing wrong, she can go and evict herself from the casino so if she attempts to go back on they will not allow her or she will be arrested for trespassing if she does not leave.

There is nothing you can do about her behaviour, the only thing you can control is your reaction. By that I mean, stop enabling her, stop accepting her behaviour, tell her straight up either she seeks help for her addiction or you are out the door.

First, learn how to construct a coherent sentence. Then, get her to Gamblers Anonymous.

Get some psychological help. She could bet and loose everything you own.
