So, ladies and gents,

Here is a dude who parents trusted well enough to save their money in his bank account, that is, father of this dude (according to the dude) saved all his money on his son's (the dude) bank account, the dude went ahead to start doing sports betting with the money, and like this like this normally turns out most of the time, he eventually lost all the money the father saved with him without the parents knowing.

Later on, the parents found out and became very angry with him, he is thinking of how to handle the situation but doesn't know exactly what to do,
And let's say he somehow manages to replace the money, either by means of borrowing or working menial jobs to raise the money, will his parents ever trust him again to save large sum of money with him?


Assuming you find yourself in a similar situation as this, what will you do? How will you handle the situation to make your parents trust you again?

He went too far to using funds that isn't his to gamble, but I'm not surprised, that's what's associated with addiction. He's broken the trust of his parents already and to handle this situation now, he has to quit gambling first, and go apologize to his parents, that's if the damage caused is limited to his parents being angry only because such actions causes health issues for these older folks. His remorse for his actions should include dissociating himself with the cause of his problem. He should also take responsibility of replacing the money he misused, I think it will make him more sensible.

He should try to live a better life and make more responsible decisions going forward. Also get his mind occupied with taking up a skill or  paid job to reduce his idle moments so he doesn't entertain wild thoughts that might lure him back into gambling for now. He shouldn't expect his parents to trust him again like before. That kind of trust hardly comes by again when broken already. He should forgive himself first, accept his present and work on having a better future. He's made a mistake and he's got to correct it.
