Sounds like you had a very interesting conversation with your W and I am glad that you were able to "lay down the law" so to speak. The sitch reminds me of all the times my WAW brought up the casual drinking and how I withdrew to my cave because I viewed it as nagging due to how she was communicating. It was an issue that I was passive about and did not want to own up to. Now I have no choice and have made the necessary discoveries, courtesy the bomb, to own up and change.
In a way, you just delivered a bomb to your W. Don't know how she will respond in the coming days but if she is in denial about the gambling, I would expect her to lash out at you. Going dark could be good to isolate you from the crap storm that can be looming. Then again, looking at how we first responded to our D bombs, how did we react to our Ws? Could she begin begging, pleading, pursuing etc...for the financial support for her addiction? Don't know, just some random thoughts collected over the days from reading your thread.
I agree with SMW and KL...what can you do to isolate the kids from all of this?
