Thanks kpat for your post. I think it will be time for me to go home after the birthday party and before the sleep over. LOL!! I think that my Mom is gambling a lot more than she will admit. It is sad that the casinos bus people in to gamble. I think that the elderly are targeted by the casinos. A lot of them are probably lonely, alone, and they get caught up in the gambling madness and become addicts. It is so sad. I had dinner and a good visit with my Sister. She was telling me that she had taken my Mom to the casino and given her money to gamble with last weekend. I think my Mom is out of control but I can’t stop her. I don’t feel like I can even discuss it with her. I just feel tired thinking about it. Kpat, I think that is why my Mom is so angry a lot of the time. She knows she has a problem but won’t admit it to herself. That is the hardest step.
