How much of the family money does he spend gambling?
Well that's part of what makes me hesitant to label it as an addiction - he doesn't spend any "family" money. He's very controlled with his gambling budget.
What he does take from "the family" is time. Because not only does he leave every weekend, when he's home he spends hours and hours using a software program to practice.
He seems more absorbed by what he sees as "patterns" than the money side of gambling.

You teach people how to treat you by what you allow. What you stop. And what you reinforce. ~~~~~~~ A lack of boundaries invites a lack of respect.
