actually, it's my mo who i want to help..i just want to ask you for advise..my mom is a stay-at-home type, but has become a bit of a gambler since all of us (her children) are already attending school and work and she is left alone in the house. my father works overseas, and i think does not know of my mother vices, and this is what concerns me...it would really help me if you could share some type of business work or something to occupy her that could let her go of her vices..we once had a store, but had to close because no was able to look after it anymore...

your help is greatly appreciated..thanks...

Doesn't she fancy getting a job? What is she able to do? Has she expressed any desire to get out there and work?

I know it's difficult to motivate people sometimes. My mother used to sit around the house and drink - she completely refused to get any kind of work. She was a real pain.

It's difficult to know what to suggest as it's really up to her to get off her butt and do something more constructive than gambling. Perhaps you should tell your father about what she's doing - he may be able to offer some kind of advice/help/talk to her. I think that he has a right to know if her life is going like this.

Perhaps an intervention of sorts, all the children and mom have a meeting. Tell her she's got a problem and if she doens't fix it then the cats outta the bag to dad. Not fair to him either.

She needs to be busier and out of the house, either a job, voulnteer work, church, support groups, etc. She's the only one that can change her life, but when you all meet then she's faced with doing something about it.
Good luck
