Do you have a family member in trouble because of gambling? Awareness of the gambler's problems is growing. Yet when gaming and gambling turn ugly, family members – spouses, children, parents, siblings, close friends — suffer significantly also. This book is an aid and support for these family members. This is a book for families lost and wanting to find their way.
For years, the authors counseled problem gamblers, their children, their spouses, their parents, and all the other family members who get sucked into the gambling storm. They operate from a foundation of awareness, balance, and connection (ABCs). These ABCs are a way of understanding how and why some families and addicts get healthy—and why some do not. In this book, the authors ask the questions and give the story to help move families forward and heal.
