Because he wasn't very good, but compulsive, there were many times when things were not so good financially at home. Many times, our electricity and heat were turned off in the winter due to his behavior. I didn't go to Vegas until I was well into my 30's. I too can be a very compulsive personality, so I have to be careful, but I do love to gamble.
