<prompt> Human: So, my SO is addicted to gambling and has no impulse control. Spending hundreds of dollars, if not a thousand weeklybi-weekly on dumb facebook games. There was a phase where he let me distribute our cash so I can pay off all the bills we had before he used any cash. We got caught up with all our bills and now he has taken control of the money. I got laid off last month from my job, so I currently have no income, and am struggling to find a job. I had to use most my money to make sure all our bills get paid, as well as some of his.I got three notices in the mail of past due bills, he hasnt paid a single bill. I went to check the accounts online and he has changed a password to ALL of them. The only one I had access to was a credit card, even then that was a changed password, I just knew the secret answers to access the account. The credit card shows him spending an excessive amount of money on some facebook thing, most likely online slots, as he is addicted to gambling. Im assuming he blew all his paycheck already, hes currently on a trip for his work.So Im home alone, with my child, with no income, and past due bills. He gets back soon, but I need to know what I should do for myself and my kid. His addiction is not going away, and he psychologically abuses us, Constantly yelling, doing something nice, then the next day back to his evil self. Even to the point where he cancelled our phones and we had to get prepaid ones.I know I need to find a job, but if he knows I have a job, hell push for me to use my money to pay the bills. We should be living comfortably but low impulse control on my significant others part, and what seems like bipolar personality, has put us back in the hole. He even got loans out that he is not paying, one saying its for house renovations.Im not sure if this should go here, more than a relationship place, but the bill aspect and locking me out, leads me to think that everyone here at personal finance would have an idea on what to do. Is it illegal for him to lock me out of our own bills, should I be contacting the companies to let them know? I dont have a clear path on how to get out of this. Sorry if this was the wrong place, but any advice would be great to hear!Thank You, Jenny.  <response>: Wow, get out now. He will ruin your life.
