Support for relatives

  • showing interest in them as a person and not just their problem.
  • not trivialising their problem.
  • directly addressing concerns.
  • sticking to consequences (no empty threats).
  • setting clear boundaries.
  • not lying for the gambler.
  • taking the affected person to get help.
  • getting yourself some support and advice.

Important: The situation is not your fault!
