So Q has finally been working steadily for a three weeks now and of those three weeks Q has decided to take his paycheck to the casino twice. I think he thinks he can control his problem and take just $10 in and walk out happy that he hasn’t lost more. Typical of a problem gambler, he chased the loss of that $10 and eventually lost $300.
The first week, I thought it was suspicious that he wasn’t home when I arrived home from work on Friday, so I took a ride. My heart just sank when I found his truck out in the parking lot and then went in and found him. This time, when I found him there at least he didn’t start cursing me, which he has done in the past. Maybe we’re making headway there? On the other hand, he still is blaming the casino for not catching him when he walked in because he’s “self-banned“. Once again, I tried to play counselor (I know, wrong move) and explain to him that it’s not the casino’s fault that he walked in there.
This time hurt more than others because it had been so long since he had lost this kind of money. In my own little world, I was thinking we were through the worst of everything. I knew the Dirty Money that I took a couple of weeks ago would come back to haunt me and I was right. I hope that this is just a shake up to bring me out of my fantasy land and not a long-term relapse of all the work he has done so far.
I’M BACK, PLEASE HELP HIM STOP.
