Before we jump into addiction, I'll want to agree strongly with your point on she been in serious trouble. People loose money from gambling daily and we don't hear about it neither do they flaunt it on social media except they're dragging a possible Telegram group owner for supplying them games that turned south. But in her case, I suspect she used funds meant for another thing to adventure into gambling and that hurts deeper cos she has to not just live with the loss but also work to replace the lost funds. I just hope its not tuition fees though.
It is not really the point that what factors you are looking at happens to her alone. Even under boy has played and lost his school fees.
She is just a lady and this buttress that point saying women are weaker sex, guys consistently play without winning and they go to sleep to try another chance. Men take things that come to them any how it came even in the hard way. This probably a publicity stunt for sympathy that she is also gambling to try a chance of having some guys come to support her financially.
