Off My Chest
RULES:
I am looking for mods!
1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.
2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)
3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.
4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.
5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.
6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

Right now, he's using games as trash compactor. An emotional void where he throws himself as a form of escape. It will work less and less over time.
It's healthier to find a more constructive hobby and spend the money he uses on games there. But he has to want it and find the will to go through it.
If he reached the point of feeling an obligation towards those games, then it's time to start distancing himself from them. Because they're the easier choice and complacency.
Instead of a subscription, loot boxes or daily checkpoints, take the money and use it for a course teaching a trade he feels attracted to. It will help him way much more in the long run.
Alternatively, start playing games with him and beat his ass.
thanks so much!!!
