My $.02: You say you have had a normal childhood, but you have gambled all your life. Somethings not right there. Your relationship has very little chance IMO, but best of luck. Right now your main concern should be your kids. Instead of just "seeing" them 2-3 times a week, try to actually spend some real time with them. Using your sons birthdate as a moniker is not a substitute for real love. Give them some of you. Maybe just spend half the time that you do online here with them instead. You will all be better off for it.
I'm pretty damned normal and I've gambled all my life

If your talking marbles or something I understand, but if your betting cash before you're 10, I don't know. There are exceptions to every rule.

Although my mom took me to the track when I was seven and gave me a few dollars to bet on horses a couple times, I didn't start really going to the track until I was 14 when I would skip school and hitch to the Big T about 3-4 times a week. By 15 I was there just about every day.

So I guess I'm OK.

If you listen to the people that tell you to cut back on the calorie intake immediately then you deserve to be unhealthy.

We used to bet horses, football games, college basketball, you name it by the time I was in 7th grade. I remember one of the first things we did every monday morning at school was buy the Post and find out the line on the upcoming Bills game
