Brother gambling addiction mum wants him out!

[namechanger92]

Can someone please help with what I should do here please.

I have posted about my brother recently but he is just taking the piss and my mum wants him out.

He got kicked out of his flat last month didn't tell my mum just turned up at her flat with all his clothes and tv then finally admitted to her a few days later.

He just got paid his benefits yesterday £600 that's including his housing benefit he shouldn't be receiving anyway. He has gambled the whole lot and has £15 left and is going to pawn his phone in to get £40.

My mum wants him out he's got nowhere to go what do we do? My niece is going to live with my mum in a couple of weeks so social services will be doing a home visit soon. We need him gone!

I have no sympathy for him at all because he's bringing my mum down and she just wants her home back.

Contact Gamanon which is a support group for families of gamblers. They should be able to provide you with some good advice.

Ouch what a tough situation. Is the niece the brother’s daughter? How many bedrooms does this house have?

Nope not his daughter. He told my mum he went to the council but they couldn't help him.
I don't believe he went so I called up and they said if he came down yesterday and said he was homeless they would of helped him with either a hostel or hotel temporarily until they find him a home. So we know he was lying!

I'm taking my mum out at half 1 so I'm going to have a few words with him I'm so angry.

My mums been through so much crap her partner died my other brother died and the other one is a heroin addict and now she has to take on her granddaughter it's not fair at all.

You've just recently posted about this and many of us told you what to do. Tell him to get out, and if he refuses, you need to call the police for their assistance. They will make him get out. Why haven't you done this? Where he lives is not your concern.

"they said if he came down yesterday and said he was homeless they would of helped him"

Did he say homeless though, or staying with family? If he says he has somewhere to stay then they don't have to house him.
