Video Game Addiction Support Group

Well from my talk with my husband last night, its different for every person I think. However there is no true way to understand because, they are not thinking logically. Just like a crack head dosent think twice about spending their kids lunch money on a fix. There is no real way to understand. In my husbands case it is a matter of choices, from the time he gets up and goes to work until he comes home he has someone telling him what to do. The game gives him choices, he has nobody telling him what he has to do, he does whatever he wants. I tried to explain that he has choices in real life too when he comes home, but he said "the only choices I have are: play a game, watch tv, or watch a movie." In my new thread I explain why he picks the game. I can understand to a certain degree, but I will never fully understand the choices he makes. I sincerely wish that I had a better solid answer for you, but at this current moment in time this is all I have to offer. *hugs*

Its like an addiction, it starts slowly but the more they get into it, the more they need it. DP has been off work for over 5 weeks constantly playing, stroppy with me and our little one. Im rapidly losing patience, Im a single parent too, this isnt how I had planned my life to be a slave, a doormat for absolutely nothing but pain and depression. I dont think I can take much more :-(
