son gambling on cc card which doesnt have cash transactions

Ok confession time...i am the son...

Don't be sad or ashamed. Admitting something like this is a big deal and is the start of something better!! Don't forget Gamblers Anonymous exist. It may help to talk through your feelings.

I work within the voluntary sector, supporting vulnerable people to rebuild their lives.

I love my job
