So im not here for myself, rather i might be selfish here. So here it goes :
My father has always been addicted to something gambling related, when i was little it was slots and in the past 7-8 years he s been addicted to gambling, sport bets for that matter..and its not ruining us or anything but it also keeps our family from moving forward, and from what i observe he doesn't see this as a problem, he thinks he can win big time and such.
And im wondering is there some way I could help him?
I might even be selfish here in wanting to help him even though he thinks he s fine and all..But slowly he s getting older and i think he wont be able to keep this going..Like everytime he wakes up thats the first thing on his mind "Have i won anything" /he checks on his bets and such.
And honestly it hurts me because i know how this will end..So im asking again, is there anything i could do to help him?

Yes i've asked this in gambling addiction too but i didnt get any kind of answer so im hoping maybe i get an answer here ,i really want to do something about this...if possible ,though i know it myself its highly unlikely

Dear The Great Forest,

I think you feelings are totally understandable in the circumstances you mentioned. Wish I had some wisdom to share, but sadly I don't. I hope that somehow . . . someway . . . that things will work out for the best. The situation sounds very stressful and distressing!
