[QUOTE="MuM_of_OCD_kiddo, post: 453975, member: 12241"] I second both Susiestar's and Janet's advice. Gambling is an addicition as bad [or worse] as alcohol or drugs, with the added clear headedness of being sober [most of the time] and the expert manipulations and lies that come with that. Save your funds for a rainy day, the rest of your family and your retirement - or perhaps to help him out [B]AFTER HE HELPED HIMSELF [/B]recover. Bipolar or similar personality disorders are difficult enough to deal with all by themselves - add an addiction to this, and you are so out of luck. It's him who needs to do this, not you! You are just prolonging the agony of reaching rock bottom, by supporting him at this time if he is not working the program... Hugs to you! [/QUOTE]
