Don’t become sceptic about gambling. In fact, gambling can be played free of cost too. There’s is nothing bad to play online casino games.

Let me ask you…Don’t you play online games? Don’t you feel disturbed if someone asks you something while you’re playing?

I don’t regard it as a negative addiction. It’s simply a game which people find it difficult to leave quickly. It’s fun.

You can play online casino games in the best online casinos and that’s too at free of cost. To learn more please visit http://www.casinostoplayat.com/

dont doubt your instincts – you have no reason to lie

I think erie is around 100 mile drive – so one could argue your not gonna go there and take probably hour & half to get there maybe two hours depending on traffic and how fast you drive – to stay at the casino for 30 minutes and drive home – that wouldn’t make much sense

does your mom go with someone or just go alone? a lot of problem gamblers like to be in action ALONE – as there is less distractions, and they don’t have to worry about someone ELSE trying to cut them off

you would think she would go at a reasonable time and go on the weekend instead of taking off at 9pm and staying out ALL night

I dont know your moms financial situation, some people can afford to take trips to the casino and spend money and its no big deal, if your mother already has an addictive personality it might be that much harder for her to quit or stop gambling until she is out of money.

Whether or not she is rich enough to sustain a gambling habit is another story.

if you cant talk to her is there someone else in the family you can bring up your worries and concerns to without fear of being ignored or yelled at? I wish you luck:)
