Hi Stella
I am going away for a week but I will still be facilitating groups on Tuesday evening 20.00 – 2100.00 hours UK time and on Thursday 22.00 – 23.00 hours UK time, it would be great if you could join me so we could ‘talk’ in real time.
You are understood in this forum, as is your anger and sadness, you are among people who care.
Unfortunately the only person who can exclude your mother from gambling sites is your mother, just as the only person who can save your mother is your mother.
Perhaps you could download the 20-questions from the Gambler’s Anonymous website and give them to your mother, she may not realise she has a recognised problem and there is real support for her if she wants it.
The one person you can save is ‘you’. It is so important that you enjoy ‘your’ life and that you don’t let the addiction of another destroy you.
I hope you will keep posting, I will be back in a week and will catch up with your posts and as I said I will be facilitating groups on Tuesday and Thursday.
I too was sick and tired, when the addiction was kicking the life out of me but you can recover your life.
Please look after yourself
You are in my thoughts
Velvet
