Between a rock and a hard place
#2
Hi ouboet

I am a recovering CG. Only 16 months, but it's better than nothing.
Do NOT bail her out. Whilst this may seem heartless, it is the only way that your sister is going to realise that at some stage, she will have to pay for her actions. To be made accountable. You will not help her face this addiction by bailing her out.

As for the police...That is a decision only you & your family can make. However, whatever decision you do come to, make sure that you stand by that decision. You will have to decide this between the family.

The compulsive gambler will NOT stop gambling unless he or she WANTS to. All you can do is offer advice, suggest where help is readily available etc. Do NOT nag her about this.You will only force her away. Do what you can, and then step back. Things may get worse before they get better, but they will not get better until she admits she has a problem & seeks the help that she needs.

Best wishes
Roy
