How can I help someone with a gambling problem?

My neighbour (40/m) (“N”) confided that his recently retired father (70/m) (“G”) has started going to the casino twice a day (all day but he comes home for dinner).

G’s losses affect the food they eat (multi generational household).

N doesn’t really know what to do. I’m not so concerned for N, moreso his mother/G’s wife.

It’s not my business but, when I was a kid my boyscout leader committed suicide after gambling away his house so I’m pretty sensitive to this sort of thing. I’d like to help if I can.

Any advice?

So G is retired and gambles away food money?

Make sure N’s assets are safe from G.

If G loses the house, N can invite his mom (or both of them) to stay with him if he wants.

N is neighbour G is gambler

N lives in G’s house.

Wait, so G is also your N?

m0darn OP ,

Yeah sorry I guess it’s not clear.

Have N sign a looong term lease with G.

That way it will be harder to evict if G loses the house.
