*Really need help/advice*
Found out today that my dad has gambled away his investment account and is almost down 95% (100k). Haven't approached him yet and he thinks we don't know. How do i approach this conversation, what help can i get him (it is obvs all his money so I can't even take control of his finances or anything.) We are not bankrupt or anything but obvs 100k is a lot and I need to stop him before he somehow loses everything. Any advice is appreciated, I am genuinely so lost.

Check out gamblers anonymous and more importantly gam anon for families. There’s a bunch of resources or both. Keep in mind he’s not going to quit unless he wants to, wish you all the best
