Hey dudes. I have a female friend at work and we talk quite a bit. She had a terrible go of it being abused as a young girl and bounced around foster care. She is misguided but has a great heart. Thing is she has a serious gambling issue. She will put here rent money on a game and she is struggling as it is. She has her own kids but is also raising 3 foster children. I've given heard food and gas money etc when she was struggling but when I've spoken to her about her out of control gambling she gets quiet. Yes I e worked with addicts in my career but never compulsive gamblers. I know a lot of the behaviors etc are similar with drugs and gambeling but I wanted to see if you guys have any experience dealing with a friend who was heading to the bottom gambling l. If I come at her strong i will probably turn her against me. You guys ever deal with something like that
