Parents Gambling – Meet Chloe

“My dad gambles a lot. He thinks I don’t know about it, but I do. I’ve known something was going on for a while now. It’s like I see my friend’s parents, and it’s like a whole other world than mine. It’s something special. It’s just… I don’t know… normal.

I want normal.

I used to get my hopes up that things would change. I used to think we’d wake up one day and everything would be better, but I know it’s not going to happen.

I’ve thought about talking to Mom, but it’s like, if I’m okay, then she’s okay.

But I know she’s not. She’s not okay.”
