Hi ladies.
I need some good advice about my daughter. I discovered yesterday that she has been gambling. I am worried sick as she asked me to make a payment for her. She asked me to give her my bank details on line as she needed to pay it that day. I have no idea what form this gambling takes. It was difficult getting any information out of her. She has not told her husband ! She owes almost k3. My dilemma is do I tell her husband.
All of our communication has taken place via text. The last text I sent she has not opened.I have told her I will support her in getting through this but she must put a stop to it now. I’m worried that if I interfere I may end up falling out with both of them. I am also worried what she might do if pushed to far.

I wanted to speak to my son in law because as we are aware gambling is addictive and the gambler does not want to give up their obsession. In my text to her I told my daughter that she must speak to him knowing that she probably would not. If it was her that was gambling,he would be the person to best support and help her. It’s all irrelevant now. It was the scammer.
