I for one am offended by this concerned mom!!!!!
I feel bad that her son has no control over his gambling and maybe he needs help, but to tell every person in the world not to drink just because your son drinks a gallon of vodka straight a day is foolish.
Some people have no self control and although it is sad I would prefer that I not be insulted and placed in this group by somebody who does not know me. I go out and have a few beers from time to time and sometimes I gamble on sports, but I am not a drunk or a compulsive gambler.
If her son is old enough to gamble and get married and she is only 38 I could most likely call her a whore for having a child out of wedlock at such a young age. Would she feel insulted by this statement from somebody who knows nothing about her?
