How to Help a Loved One With a Shopping Addiction? She Won’t Admit She Has a Problem.?
Question by Mark A: How to help a loved one with a shopping addiction? She won’t admit she has a problem.?
My mother in-law has a seriuos shopping addiction. She stays up all night watching home shopping club, she has literally hundreds of unopened boxes, and keeps on going. She has incurred over $ 75,000 in debt. Her husband is in a rest home and she has nobody to answer to. We try to offer suggestions or advice, but she only gets angry and feels we are trying to control her life. This greatly upsets my wife. Any advice would be sppreciated.

Well, unless you get her declared incapacitated, there is not much you can do. She’s an adult and can get herself into debt if she wants. Someone should really raid her wallet and cut up her credit cards. The only thing you can do is have her face up to the debt she has and have her answer how she is going to handle it. Explain to her she is putting her home or pension in jeopardy, that creditors can come after her savings, etc. You could always try approaching any friends of her or siblings of hers to also talk to her. Does she visit her husband in the home? Can he talk to her if someone told him what is going on? Find out if there are any compulsive disorder support groups where she is and give the details of the organization.

You can’t help some one if they don’t admit they have a problem. She is probably depressed that her husband is in a rest home. She needs professional help.
it’s? called EGO
If people stopped purchasing goods and services the economy would come? to a grinding halt.
HAAHA!
?
1:35 – I? don’t do any of that shit!
3.08 a fine example of the “PAIN BODY”. you tube Eckhart Tolle’s “The pain? body is seductive”. A MUST SEE !! Nice one Danny, ps Ripley is a sexy gorgous..HOT!! Namaste
The best things? in Life are Free. Like Danny’s Videos!!!
absolutely love this guy…?
i think that guy was really sad? and that is his way off expressing his sadness of putting it on other people. keep up the fun danny and never stop smiling because people love it..dont let the sad ones get to you 😀
I don’t really know if it’s better or worse, but when you come down for your heroin high, your are left with nothing else than the craving for another dose. When you go home from a? shopping spree, at least you’ve got a bagful of clothes or whatever…
Hahaha that? stall owners t-shirt had the cookie monster doing coke
When I was young my girlfriends? hated it because they could never get me to go ‘shopping’ with them. I have never had the slightest interest in walking around shops.
Anybody know why? these videos and cveitch’s are buffering so slowly? I smell a conspiracy!!! :p
Just kidding by the way… about the conspiracy. And sorry for having to clearly state that, I do it because many don’t understand sarcasm anymore.
I call it plutopium. A hidden? drug
aren’t we strange creatures ?
ww question the actions of another but hate it if they question us
all those planks in the eyes i guess
seriously we are addicted to? aquiring things for that short fix of a new experience [ though usually it is the same thing in new clothes ]
i try to keep my purchasing to a limit and concentrate more on living than consuming
Time for a new veitch? and danny vid 🙂 pleeeeeeease
