I Wish I Had a Better Relationship With My Mom

She likes to gamble. She invited me once, but I lost $20 early on. She was still playing. I got nervous and ended up playing and losing $60. Not fun.
I didn't want her to know because she already thinks one of my sisters is bad luck who makes her lose all the time (😂...it's true though 😒).

She'd wind up thinking I was bad luck too or that I was a buzzkill (or whatever equivalent of that word she'd use).
I wandered around the casino for an hour before finally just telling her I had to go home. It was a small casino...I got bored, and she plays all night sometimes. She never invited me again, but I can't say it was a bummer. I don't like gambling.

She seems a rich woman who afford to play gamble!

@Ritesh Nope. She's poor. She plays $20 on penny machines, but it lasts her for hours. She has some trick to it, but I didn't understand when she tried to explain it.

Give her something else that makes her busy and happy!

@Ritesh She also likes gardening, but she doesn't like anyone to bother her when she's working on hers. (She thinks we're all bad at it and will kill her plants. 😥)

A good friend of her or companion/partner can help you leave her that habit...
She lose 20$ every day?

@Ritesh No. she doesn't have enough to gamble every day. She enjoys it every now and then.
