Thanks for posting.  Im sorry your family is going through this.  1st, sounds like you need to get support and learn about the addiction as does your family.  A problem gambler cannot be made to quit, they have to want to quit, and that is what makes it tough on families.  Your family may make have to make some tough choices to preserve their sanity, the family funds and relationships.   Start by googling "help for families of problem gamblers"  "Gam anon" usually has support groups for family members as well as the gamblers themselves. I went to a Ala non (family members dealing with alcoholic family members) and it helped alot.  Best wishes.
