<prompt> Human: Please help me. I am a transfer student. My dad gambles almost everyday. He lost at least 500 at each casino, not included cash, even though he only makes 1,500 a month. He also asks me for money when his bank account went under 0. Thats why I dropped out because I used up my saving money for college. My mom who lives outside of US has lupus nephritis so she has been receiving treatment in the hospital until now. It costs a lot of money. My saving is supposed to pay for her medical bill. I have an online shop and work part-time.With the financial aid I am awarded, there is still 10k left, not including housing.  <response>: Gambling is an addiction. He needs to walk away from all those losses, rather than hoping he can win it all back, the sunk cost fallacy. See if you can help him find a program so he understands the problems with gambling.As for yourself, keep future money to yourself. Try to help in whatever capacity available, mostly food, but try giving physical goods rather than money that could possibly be gambled.
