So your dad graduated from coupon and pool of the 70's to bet9ja ? Guy, no remedy. I'm sorry, but we can't do anything. He will take it to his grave, except the risen Christ intervenes. THIS ONE Please refer him to T.B Josh 2 Likes |

If he is not requesting money from you or any form of financial help from you please leave him alone just as you said he has been playing it before you were born, meaning he even played gamble and train you in school so he knows what he is doing. 6 Likes |

It's an addiction. It takes 90 days of concentrated effort, will power, and determination to break free off an addiction. At this age, your pops is prolly already too far gone. Just find a way to help him minimize his losses. Maybe find a way to take charge of his account and secretly save for him because a day is coming when he'd need it. |

Is he in debt? Does he have any health issues? If not, I suggest you leave him alone 3 Likes 1 Share |

A very serious and wasteful addiction. |

Truetalk3139:There is nothing you can do to stop the habit if he was into gambling before you were born. |

Truetalk3139:Unfortunately, it is a cross you have to carry. Behaviour modification will be difficult as you wrote that his siblings are also chronic gamblers, so breaking away from it will be hard. If he didn't discontinue when you and your sister were younger, he wouldn't now that you are both adults and he feels you can sort yourselves out. The best you can do is for you, yourself not to continue the gambling addiction which the male authoritative figures in your family are already mired down as he and his siblings are dealing with a mental disorder because that is what gambling is, it falls under the cluster of behavioural addictions. 1 Like

Addiction is hard too break. Not even one that started before you were born. Just keep advising him and pray for him always. |

[quote author=Truetalk3139 post=88394955]Hello everyone, my Dad is 60yrs old and has been gambling before I was born, I have tried all my best to talk him out of it but he never listens and when i talk too much it turns to argument, his siblings too are chronic gamblers, now he's retired and he's still gambling with money he's supposed to use to sustain till his pension is available, he used to go and sit with boys at bet9ja house whenever he's not on duty. How do I stop him from gambling? because he might just squander his pension on gambling Your dad lives in Bariga? |

Truetalk3139:It a chronic habit he formed over time Have you sat him down to discuss what he intends doing after retirement If no, get close to him and discuss about it, help him to go into research and visibility studies on it You too take your own survey about the business When he gets his pension, convince him to take part of it and put into the business that will take part of his time away Does he have a land or already built a house in the city where you leave, if yes good let him buy more and build for commercial And if no, you guys can start looking for land so that his gratuity will be channelled into it if not, he will use it for gambling because his customers are aware he has retired They will be deceiving him until he sinks the money there 1 Like |
