i live with my boyfriend and his cousin lives in the house too. he is a compulsive gambler. he work at the tropicana casino, go figure, in atlantic city and spends all of his time gambling before and after work. he has tens of thousands of dollars in credit card debt and is mooching off of my boyfriends mother- his aunt. he is 40 years old, has a girlfriend who lives in pa- their entire relationship consists of the phone and letters because he can’t afford to move out… and he spends hours- 8, 9, 10 hours a day online playing gambling games as well as pogo point games… it sounds like a casino in the living room every day…
