You are not to blame
Living or coping with a loved one who experiences gambling-related harms can be stressful and exhausting. You cannot force your partner, family member or friend to acknowledge their gambling problem or to contact us for support they must want it themselves. The only person who can help themselves is the individual. However, we can help support you which will in turn help you support your loved one.
An individual’s gambling behaviour is often hidden from those around them, it can therefore be a shock to you when it comes to light. The effects can be confusing, distressing and long-lasting for those affected. If you feel that you have been affected by somebody else’s gambling, please take our free self-assessment tool today to get FREE confidential support.
