Hi Kpat I know what you mean about family addictions. Sadly these can be I think picked up and passed down to the next generation. The positive though is you yourself are so aware of the horrors of this addiction. I also pray that child does not ever have to face what others have and are facing.
In the UK kids are allowed to play 1p and 10p slots in the arcades that are on most UK coast lines. Its mad as if we groom them for whats to come. Casinos, bookmakers and the like. Knowledge and education is a must for younger people to warn them of where an unchecked like for gambling can lead.
Maybe just maybe there wont be a “next” one in your family. Can the buck so to speak stop with you ? I hope so I really do. Thanks for your support Kpat on my little corner here. John
