Here are some specific suggestions that I have for your consideration....
1. Consult a lawyer, if you haven't already done so....to find out your rights and explore all of your options....in case of separation, divorce, and financial obligations/consequences.
2. Join a face to face Gam-anon group....or, an online one if there are not any in your are. If you live near casinos---there are probably a lot of groups near by.
3. Get your own personal counselor to guide you---as this is too hard to try to go alone.
That's great advice there partly because it takes addicts several attempts to change. They have to want to change or get sober for themselves and not appease someone else. How much of an up and down ride you want is up to you. Also drugs or an addiction doesn't necessarily manufacture behavior. He probably already had some ethical or moral issues to say the least. The addiction can be an excuse or motivation but it did not tell the brain lie, cheat, steal, manipulate etc.
Good Luck. Stay Safe & Protect Yourself.
