<prompt> Human: My mom has a gambling addiction. I just found out that a few years ago, she took out a line of credit to pay off all her credit cards. She owes about 60 000. I dont know when, but were going to lose our home.My siblings and I dont know what to do, and dont know who to go for advice. We dont know any financial advisors. We are in our 20s. My brother and sister are still in school, and I just started freelancing. We dont make enough money to help her get out of the situation. We know she has about 100K in RRSP something through work. She has no other assets. What can we do to save the house? : We are thinking of getting enough money together not sure how yet and buy the house from our mom and have one of us own it. I know this will not solve her gambling addiction, but at least she will still have a roof over her head and my siblings who still live at home. We are looking for other solutions.p.s. yes, we know she needs to get help. we will keep trying.editupdate: i just want to say thank you for all your responses. this thread should have been posted in a different subreddit. I didnt agree with many of you at first about trying to save this house.. but im convinced now that the house is not worth saving. I will still find a bankruptcy lawyer to see what are options are. But most importantly, i will continue to do what i can to help her get treatment. It is the only way she will get better. I just found out she started seeing a social worker last week, and that is the best news ive heard in a long time. I hope she sticks to it. I rather the lose house. I cannot lose my mom. thanks again for your responsesAssistant: Dont have good personal finance advice but when an addict has an addiction they will have to hit rock bottom before picking up the pieces and getting better.She will only stop gambling if she is ready to stop. Suggest going to gamblersanonymous Finding a local meeting. Working the system and getting a sponsor.Nice for you to be a leader for your siblings. Construct a game plan with her out of the picture. Construct a game plan for survival with out her in the picture. Team up and let her know its gambling or you guys. Stick to your guns as this could be live saving for her. Human: she refuses to get help. even if she did, it would be difficult because english is not her native language. thank you anyway for your advice.my siblings and i are fully capable of taking of ourselves. we have been for awhile now. We are more worried about our mom and the house. When she loses everything, we hope to at least find a way to save the house so she has somewhere to live.  <response>: Sounds like you need gam-anon for yourself and your siblings. Youre just as sick as she is if you think bailing her out is a good idea.
