[Fivestar4everMVP]

So, ladies and gents,

Here is a dude who parents trusted well enough to save their money in his bank account, that is, father of this dude (according to the dude) saved all his money on his son's (the dude) bank account, the dude went ahead to start doing sports betting with the money, and like this like this normally turns out most of the time, he eventually lost all the money the father saved with him without the parents knowing.

Later on, the parents found out and became very angry with him, he is thinking of how to handle the situation but doesn't know exactly what to do,
And let's say he somehow manages to replace the money, either by means of borrowing or working menial jobs to raise the money, will his parents ever trust him again to save large sum of money with him?


Assuming you find yourself in a similar situation as this, what will you do? How will you handle the situation to make your parents trust you again?

I will be ashamed of myself and look for a means to pay back the funds to my parents. For me to be able to make up for my mistakes and win their trust back, I must quit gambling for a while, in order for me to be able to overcome my addiction. This is because it is only an addicted gambler that cannot be entrusted with money, because he will end up using it for gamble since he cannot control his gambling activities and would always want to chase his losses all the time.

If I quit gamble and overcome my addiction, I can look for so many ways so show them that I am now responsible and can be trusted upon with funds, but it would be hard for them to believe you, only if it was very easy for you to make the repayment in a short period of time, when his father noticed the money is no longer in his son's account. If it was very hard to pay back or was not paid back, you have lost their trust in you for life.

And let's say he somehow manages to replace the money, either by means of borrowing or working menial jobs to raise the money, will his parents ever trust him again to save large sum of money with him?

Just as the parable goes, "It will be easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, than for this boy's father to ever believe him with entrusting a large sum of money again". Which means it really going to be very difficult for this boy's father to accept him like before ever again, because as it stands now, it's already visible that trust has been broken, and when it's broken, it always take time to get heal back. Hence, I think the only advice I can give this boy now is to stop the habit of gambling with other people's money, while he sincerely go ask for forgiveness from his parents.

Assuming you find yourself in a similar situation as this, what will you do? How will you handle the situation to make your parents trust you again?

If I was to find myself in this shoe, I think the best to do is to sincerely ask for forgiveness, try as much to go find a job, so as to repay even if it's 10% of the lost amount, while I stop gambling with other people's money.

Parents always forgive their sons and daughters. Only a few parents will not forgive their kids, but most of the time they will forgive, trusting the money may be another issue. He has to gain the trust and will take a long time.

Eventually, this kid will learn as he has been regretting the entire time, writing his post about his situation. Give it time, his parents will even entrust all their assets for him to take care of.

I don't think i can ever find myself in this kind of a situation, gambling should be done with an understanding that we either loose or win and there is more tendencies of loosing than winning, also, i would have been well aware of this as not a good idea in using other peoples money to gambling, money which i cant afford to loose shouldn't be used for gambling, using the money in my care from my parent to gamble is as nothing than a loss in priority, why cant i look for my own money and use such for gambling, so that i could understand well the meaning of what you cant afford to lose you shouldn't gamble with it, many newbies have fallen on this and lost their trust from their parent, all because they lack the understanding on which money should be used for gambling and why.

Yeah, sure truth, it's hard to ever trust a person again when they one way or the other breaks and loses the trust we had in them, and i agree that for this dude, it will be difficult for him to win back his father's trust again.

But what about that which is said about blood being thicker  than water? Do you think such statement does not apply in this type of situation?

What difference do you think it will make if the dude stops gambling with other people's money, but continue to gamble with his own money? I think it makes no difference, for gambling addiction knows nothing about who owns the money you are with, you will spend it without even knowing when you did.
I agree with you on him apologizing and seeking his father's forgiveness, this is actually good, but I have a question, if this was your son, I believe you will forgive him, but will you trust him again afterwards?

Assuming you find yourself in a similar situation as this, what will you do? How will you handle the situation to make your parents trust you again?

The first step is to learn how to break free from gambling addiction. I would have to seek assistance with diverse strategies to ensure that I gain total control of my gambling activity. This is because if I don't deliver myself from gambling addiction, such an event might reoccur in the future.

My second step will be to apologize to my parents and assure them that such a thing will not happen again in the future. I would do everything possible to convince them that it was a mistake that would never happen again.

The third move will be to seek means to replace the funds. I wouldn't mind doing additional jobs to raise funds to enable me to replace the money. Taking a loan to replace the funds is not a good option for me unless the fund is needed for an emergency. I know that it will be difficult for them to trust me again but with time based on my changed gambling lifestyle, I might regain the lost trust.

Assuming you find yourself in a similar situation as this, what will you do? How will you handle the situation to make your parents trust you again?

Assuming that things have already happened, best way is to accept my fault if I would be on his shoes. Crying and getting mad of what happened will not bring back the losses. At the end of the day, the only thing we could do is to move forward and to learn from our mistakes. The given situation is not that detailed. Does he have work or what? 'coz if he has then I guess it would be best for him to save from his salary to re-pay the amount he lost in gambling, little by little. Being ashamed and full of regret is a normal thing to be, in this situation. But as I said, you have to accept things if there's no way we could do about getting it back. What's more important is to avoid having desires of playing again to compensate what has already happened because it will just make the situation worse.

Take a rest from gambling and focus on what is there to start with. Your life won't meant to end just because you have done something wrong. If you're worried of what your parents think of you, embrace it and show them that you've learned. They will just hope for the best of you, and that also includes correcting your wrongdoings.

ut what about that which is said about blood being thicker  than water? Do you think such statement does not apply in this type of situation?

I am not saying that he can not gain his parents trust, he can in other aspect but not in terms of entrusting him with their funds anymore. If you look at my statement above, I also said that it still depends on how fast he was able to give the funds that he used to gamble back to his dad. If it did not take him much time, and he refunded it, it can tell his dad that he used the funds for something else and not to gamble. In this case, his dad can still trust him easily.

However, he needs to stop gambling and have disciplined himself enough, if he must continue gambling in order for him to gamble responsible, otherwise it will be useless for him to pretend in other to gain back his father's trust. This is because if he is still given money to keep in his custody, he will gamble with it, amd if he is not able to refund it back this time, the trust will be lost. Blood is thicker than water is assuming, he was given the money to invest, and the business failed or he lavished it, his dad can give him a second chance, but not on gambling.

They have the right to be angry and I should be ashamed of myself I'm very inconsiderate my parents are working hard to save that money, and the best way for me to proceed is to ask for a loan from a bank, to work or my friends to appease their anger.

I prepared to be indebted to other people rather than losing the trust of my parents, and I will stay away from gambling for them to see that I regret my actions, hopefully, they will forgive me for my wrongdoing.

In reality this incident happened many time with many people who gets addicted to gambling and ready to do anything to gamble, even to a point where they sell their own fortune, car, house, devices and even clothes just to get a sum of money and gamble. All of this due to greed and the obsession of getting a big prize thinking that one day they win the jackpot.
Personally in this situation, to gain back that trust from my parents, I would work to gain that sum of money and put it back in my father’s account. Find a job or start a business to show your success and independence from your parents without the need of help from them anymore. It’s going to be a hard journey, but it deserves everything to gain back that trust and gritting rid of addiction permanently.

Trust is a priceless currency that when lost it could take years to recover it, and when recovered it may never be same as it were in the initial. In some cases it is never recovered again.

But I thinking this case it can be recovered based on mother/father and son affinity if the young man in the story can retrace his steps like the prodigal son did and turn a new leave.

Never had my parents saved money using my account but severally i have held business money not belonging to me alone in my custody and I haven't for a second thought tampered with it for use on other things over the years. All of this is out of years of intentional act of self discipline and not quite a large number of persons have earned it.

Like I said above, it's a parents to son issue, and it can't be that extremely  complicating to handle  as it should have been if it were with ordinary parties involved. Let the son ask for parents forgiveness and work for his own momento make his parents proud again. If his parents finds out he's turnedba new life and have started doing fine with his life they will definitely forgive him and share in his new life.

That’s really a crazy things, why do you have to disappoint your family members, that’s just so bad behavior, gambling shouldn’t be done with the amount which you can’t afford to lose, gambling with all the money which your father save in your account is really bad, it can even affect the father’s health condition if he hears about it, being disappointed by someone which you really trust is really painful, seriously I haven’t been in this kind of situation before, so I don’t even know how I will feel something like this happen to me.

Later on, the parents found out and became very angry with him, he is thinking of how to handle the situation but doesn't know exactly what to do,
And let's say he somehow manages to replace the money, either by means of borrowing or working menial jobs to raise the money, will his parents ever trust him again to save large sum of money with him?

It’s just better the parents shouldn’t ask for refund from the boy, because he might end up doing illegal things just to get the money which he will use to replace the money he lost in gambling,  the best thing is to look for solution to the boys gambling addiction problem, and never trust the boy with money again.

Trust?a parent who really trusted their kid with such money and found out later in that he spent them all on gambling would never have such faith in him anymore. I wonder what children of this days are thinking? Maybe they have this idea that gambling can make Dem rich. Which is the wrong idea they are getting about it. His parents, made the mistake and I don't know why they left their money with him at first. Are they kids that couldn't leave the money with them. I don't think I'll be so stupid to use someone else money to gamble. Talk less of my parents I won't have such courage to do it. Gambling should be done with only our personal funds to avoid situations like this.

Trust is very hard to earn especially if you did something wrong. It would take so much effort and years before they will trust you again with money. But if you are sincere in making up with your parents, then, start earning your own money and as much as possible don't ask money from them. Since you spent all those savings, it means, you need to work hard for it and earn those money back.

If you need to accept odd jobs or side jobs to earn money, then you need to do it. You need to show your parents that you are regretting what you did. And if you are still a student, then it means, you may need to support yourself to let them know that you truly regret your wrongdoing.

[Viscore]

I would just have to be honest, people makes mistake, so am I, so all i can do is tell my parents about it and hope for forgiveness and promise not to do the same mistake again. They are my parents, so I know they can forgive mme because they love me, and I have to admit that I made a mistake of being an irresponsible gambler who loves sports betting.

It's not only about asking forgiveness for me, I have to get back the trust of my parents and will pay the money that I lost in gambling. That's how a responsible person should act, ask the mistake, and correct the mistake, and it will only be corrected if I can replace the money that I lose which they entrusted to me.

The truth is that he has already sold the trust that his father has for him, however things can still get fine if he does some couple of things, Therefore, My little advice to the gentleman is that, What could settle this case is dialogues with his father and if he really wants to gain the trust back, The young man should sincerely and boldly walk to his father and apologize, promise or assure his father that he's going to put back the money with time, and that such thing would never happen again, and not just end there, he should ensure he replaced, he shouldn't leave that space without approaching his Father, else things will fall apart.

[Alphakilo]

Stories like this breaks the heart. And gives us a reminder of how a gambling habit that is hidden from others is the more destructive than if it were open to friends and family. In the beginning the father will be very upset however as soon as he gets over his emotions forgiveness will be right by the corner.

If I were in the shoes of the guy in the story, I will not tell my parents rather I will take it as a life lesson and change my ways. The best way to ask for forgiveness in this case is to work to replace the money even if it is half of it and tell my father that I do not want to keep his money any more explaining what had happen. I will be ready to bear the consequneces.

[un_rank]

You should never trust someone you know to be a compulsive gambler with sums of money. You should actually never hand an addict, regardless of the addiction, huge sums of money you do not want to lose. An addiction is a form of mental health challenge and should be managed as such until the person has fully recovered from it.

The topic title is moot. There's nothing to do in this situation, the deed is already done. If you can help yourself, start some jobs, save up the money, then open up to them and apologize. If you cannot help yourself, open up and seek professional help.

I know a lot of people who, while in University. Made a lot of bad decisions and got into huge debt in gambling and were kept hostage until their parents bailed them out by paying the lost money. Some of the debt numbers were unheard of at that time for me. It can always turn into a slippery slope if one gambles recklessly. I have also heard stories of people who have lost their homes and ancestorial land as they lost it all gambling. One can only spread awareness about gambling and the slippery slope that could turn into a reality if not careful.
