hi i have posted on another thread,and then i was looking at this one and was reading some of your stories.and thought this would be a good place to vent some,i hope you all don't mine,

I have been on disabilty for the past 6 years and while that is bad enough dealing with being sick 24/7,I am also dealing with a husband who thinks of nothing but gambling,and when he loses he gets very mean and starts saying all kind of things to me,this past year has been the worse,his gambling is way out of control and when i try to tell him he needs help,he starts in on me,he calls me lazy and good for nothing and much more,for one thing i am not lazy and if i could i would work but i can't.

It has gotten so bad and his outburts are much worse,and i have gotten to the point where i think i am going to go crazy,his gambling has cause us to get evicted last year and we live in a one room eff,so i cant even go into another room when he starts in on me,it has gotten to the point where i feel tottally useless and no where to turn,if it were not for my love for my son and grandson i dont know what i would do. the stress of all this is really getting to me,i dont understand why he cant see what this is doing to our family.but what scares me is how it is wearing me down,please any one have any ideas on how to cope with all this,i am really at the end of my rope and dont know where to turn,

thanks for letting me vent

Sorry to hear about your troubles. You didn't mention what kind of disability you were having but are yu able to collect SSI? or you you able to do something part time? Gambling is a huge problem. Do you think hubby does it because he's trying to get extra money to make ends met? Just throwing out suggestions...
