Queenie Ruthers: i wud not follow his/her footstep... if u can't reason it out with that person.. then don't.. and let them solve their own problem...
Maye Delk: I would do some research into how other people have sucessfully dealt with problem gamblers in their family to get some ideas on how to best handle this. I would try not to be an enabler of their behavior in any way. If this person's problem was serious enough to where I felt they could turn on me or steal from others to support their habit, and he/she still refused to get help and/or claimed they didn't need help, I might choose to cut them out of my life until they woke up to reality. I would want to do everything I could to be a positive influence on this family member (getting them to stop gambling), but I would not try to help them if my family member was so far gone in the addiction that they were willing to engage in criminal behavior just to get money for gambling because that would put myself/my ! family at risk with little likely to be gained by it but more misery for everyone involved....Show more
Alisia Sutphen: I would be straight forward and let them know you're saying it because you care about them.
Leisa Brodnex: I have a few ideas:Sever the cashflowPlace him/her/self (can't rule that out) under house arrestIntervention: put the person in an AA like programOf course, you can't tell the person anything about this. You have to do it behind their back. In the case of the AA-ish program, you'll need a pair of cuffs, or something similar, to drag the person, and you'll have to stay for the first meeting or two.Just a few thoughts....Show more
