She must know but in denial , I wouldn't get involved , maybe your son could have a word with his friend . I would raise an eyebrow when being told of the excuses but it would ruin your friendship if you spoke

Advice please
I have had a close friend for over 30 years; our children are ages, her youngest and mine are 37 and are very good friends
She was recently widowed and struggles financially. Her youngest keeps 'borrowing' quite large sums of money. My son informs me that this friend has a gambling addiction and made me promise not to tell his mother. Being in AA for thirty years am no stranger to addiction
The financial demands are ramping up, and they have just had another baby. My friend tells me the excuses her son gives for 'needing money ' Heard it all before!
Do I continue to keep quiet ? I have no idea what to do .
