See…was the other way round for me. My mum had a crippling Tetris addiction when I was 7. So much so that I’d get home from school and every battery in the house would be dead. That year for Christmas all I asked for was batteries.
To be clear, it was my Gameboy and my copy of Tetris…
When I was around 22 or so, my mom won a free tablet from a contest online, and got this absolutely terrible android tablet, even by then current (2012) standards. But it did have angry birds. She played so much angry birds that it had noticable grooves in the plastic of the screen from aiming. Lol
My dad (clean now!) decided to try crack at 40 and spent the next 15 years taking us on a wild ride of addiction and absolutely bullshit. I’d definitely take a game addiction over that. Lmao

You poor thing. I’m so sorry! That sounds genuinely terrible
Hey, could’ve been worse. At least she was addicted to Tetris, not a raging alcoholic or addicted to meth or something.
Very true! Haha

The slippery slope is when a game addiction turns into a gambling addiction.
Glad to hear your dad’s clean. Hope everything is good for you ❤️
