Does anyone suggling with child over spending and taking out loans and online games addiction
My brother was like that, as a kid. My wreckless spending was on CDs and food; as well as enabling my brother.
Now, we both have money. The family home and land sold, and we live on that.
The thing was, my brother's addiction became a hobby. Once he did an employability course at Tech he utilised his skills.
Every cloud has a silver lining.

Hi, my 24 yr old son seems to have an addiction to online gaming, thankfully he hasn't taken out loans for it as yet, he does owe DWP £500 tho and isn't working but finds signing on too stressful, can't make the meetings either.
