As long as somebody is bailing your brother out this will go on forever! I am sure your mom thinks she is helping . A CG can be VERY manipulative and persuasive and your mom thinks that if she just sorts him out this time he will stop. Unfortunately addicts don’t think the same way as you or I. Their addiction does all the talking and it is 100% irrational!
Perhaps you could get some information together on gambling addiction for her to have a look at or show her this website and get her to read some of the stories.
I am the mom of a CG and it took me a long time to start doing the things that helped me start living my own life and let my son take responsibility for his own.
