Can’t help daughter

Hi krisk120

i think gambling uni loan is common. There maybe a resource to help.

 If you help out this will continue.

you can help manage her money. You can put blocks on phones and laptops. Ultimately your daughter needs to see the problem as there are loopholes.

call Gamcare and ask advise. Stepchange are really helpful. 
I would act now, the longer it continues the more debt to repay the more addicted.

I’m so sorry you’re going through this — it sounds incredibly stressful and worrying. Your daughter may be feeling ashamed or overwhelmed, which could explain her distant behavior, especially if she’s struggling with gambling and money issues. Since she’s an adult, your control over her finances is limited, but you can still encourage her to reach out for professional support — for example, GamCare (0808 8020 133, free and confidential) offers help for people with gambling problems and their families. It might also help to contact her university’s student wellbeing or financial support team, who can step in to offer advice, manage accommodation arrears, and connect her to counselling. Keep showing her calm, non-judgmental support, and make sure you also look after your own wellbeing during this difficult time.

Thank you. She did spend the uni loan. We stopped all money to her online after that. She gets cash for going out and a supermarket card with cash on for food. She talked it out and been doing well and saying she feels better for not gambling. 
but she’s had money come through and she has more debt so not sure if she’s gambling again. She promises she isn’t but just wants her debts paying and she wants her credit rating to go up so I’m not sure what’s going on still. 
can’t contact her uni grant people to get money paid to me unless she does it.
