To any viewers involved with persons who like to gamble...beware. Many people don't know or realize but gambling can be or become an addiction. You owe it to yourself to learn about this behavior - and avoid getting sucked into the troubles of a gambler. My advice is to get the book published by Gamblers Anonymous. It is a fairly simple book which is quick to read and gives real life examples of gamblers. Just like any other addictions there are triggers to their behavior - do you know what triggers your loved one to gamble? Learn them, and learn how to keep your money safe. Do it for you...and more importantly if you aren't married to this person, I advise against it...if you are married, and more importantly married with children...protect your money and your children. Children should never be taken to buy lotto tickets, or to race tracks etc. Any kind of exposure could increase their risks of becoming an addict of gambling or something else.

I would venture to say that Gwen is in complete denial.  She thinks she can change Frankie and Frankie has this alter ego where he likes to put her down to make himself feel superior all in the name of love? 

This is truly an abusive relationship where blame is constantly passed on to each other as if this will change things. If you both cant forgive, and it sounds like you wont, then you need to get out of the marriage. It is an unhealthy environment for the kids, and you both are being selfish and childish to continue this behavior because kids sense when something isnt right.

I do think they both need help but separately so the same mistake doesnt occur twice in the next relationship. Especially for Gwen since the kids will probably be in her custody after the divorce. In addition, I believe that Frankie is saying these things on TV about Gwen so the judge can grant him custody and prove her to be unstable. He seems like a man with a plan.

There is a common denominator with Frankie and that is his behavior reminds me of the man shown on tape beating and degrading his wife in front of the kids. Except he was both verbally and physically abusive, but abuse is abusive however it appears.

GET OUT NOW!!!

PS Gwen, get out of la la land

Parents engage in PAS (both men and women) are abusing the legal system by filing fake domestic violence petitions and child abuse allegations.  These same individuals feel that any action even falsifying official documents are justified-  just as long as as the alienator gets the kids.  Too often, the innocent parent is devasted and appears emotionally upset in court-  while the alienator is calm as a cucumber.  What happens is that the judge rules for the calm parent (although the allegations are false) taking the children away from the parent who is upset and actually cares the children.

Whats worse;  even when the victim parent proves to the Court that the alienator parent committed perjury by filing false documents--  nothing ever happens to the alienator.  Thus the law needs to be changed that any bad faith domestic violence petition, or child abuse allegation automatically is against the best interests of the children.

Just so every one knows;  my ex husband, an attorney has filed multiple bogus domestic violence petitions against me.  One was that domestic violence was going to happen in the future.  Another that marching in public with a sign was domestic violence;  I was convicted of domestic violence on that by a judge who had multiple ex parte communications with my ex husbands attorney.
