    PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE read all the posts on this forum. So many people are in similar situations moneywise and there ARE solutions.

    I'm so sorry for your loss, I think its obvious that your grief is at the route of your problem, are you speaking to anyone about this?

    I cant stress enough how much support you will get here, there are still so many options open to you.

    Hi messed up
    so sorry to hear of all your sad times.
    you are not to blame at all-the people to blame are your ex & the people who allow online gambling to go on.
    Im sure your sons love you lots & are only interested in your well being & not interested in the money side of things.

    Please be kind to yourself & take lots of care
    Im sending you lots of huggles

    Okay, welcome you are amongst friends here who will endeavour to help you as much as possible by giving support and advice.

    I do not know what to say about your experiences, I have no words to take your pain away, I wish I had.

    Re your debts, do you have bank/credit card charges, well they can be claimed back, info here

    Well we will do everything we can on both sides. :)

    It's important not to try and do too much too soon. Take one step at a time. It's like a jigsaw puzzle. Some pieces fit some don't.

    When you are up to it post a SOA (see this thread for a guide). We will then be able to offer you the best advice.

    And don't worry about not being able to get new loans etc. Consolidation isn't very often the best method. I've been there and done that plenty of times and it didn't bloody work! :rolleyes: :p
