“I talked to my kids about drugs. I talked to them about drinking. It never once occurred to me to talk about gambling. I didn’t know you could lose your savings from an app on your phone.”
“The first time I talked to another mom who’d been through this, I cried for an hour. Not because it was sad—because someone finally understood.”
“I had no idea he could lose thousands from his phone while sitting on our couch. I was looking for the wrong signs.”
“He hid it for so long because he was ashamed. And when I found out, I hid it too—because I was ashamed. We were both drowning and couldn’t tell anyone.”
This is everywhere. Your kid isn’t the outlier.
