    Hi Debbie

    Continue providing emotional support for your son. Let him know that you care about his well-being and that you’re there to help him overcome this challenge.

    It’s great that he’s planning to work and repay the money lost. This can teach him important financial lessons about responsible money management.

    Ensure that your son understands the risks and dangers associated with gambling, including the potential for addiction. Education is a key component of prevention.

    Encourage him to pursue other interests and hobbies to fill his time and reduce the temptation to gamble. Family activities and outings are a great way to bond and create positive experiences.

    It’s important to talk to someone who can, though, such as a mental health professional or a counselor who specializes in addiction. They can offer you the guidance, support, and strategies you need to overcome problem gambling and regain control of your life. Don’t hesitate to reach out to them or a support group like Gamblers Anonymous for assistance. You’re not alone in this, and there is help available.
