thank you for your help. My friend has had it tough, she lost her home& business after the bombings. She just recently opened a warung for the locals in Legion Kelod area. Quite a contrast to the tailor shop she had in Legian. When I left her at the end of last year things we looking good. She was aware of her husbands gambling and kept her money hidden from him. She now has a this huge debt and her son 17 has had to leave school to help her survive. I just feel sick about it. I was aware suicide was on the increase in Bali and unfortunately not much help is available for mental illness let alone gambling addiction. Years ago it was the cockfights that the locals gambled on. How things have changed.
