Gambling addiction never just goes away on it’s own. A CG can abstain for time but if the problem isn’t addressed it will always resurface.
If you put the $130 in the account for her you are just perpetuating the addiction. I know she truly believes this will be the “last” time lesson learned but realistically this is just not so.
Your mom will not get to the point of wanting to stop her addiction until what she is doing no longer works. Nothing changes if nothing changes. You can change how you deal with her which will in turn force her to change or not.
Take care:)
