Gaming Addict Neglects Kids, Loses Custody

[citation][nom]guardianangel42[/nom]That depends on what you consider mental. Do you consider adrenaline mental or physical? It's not unlike the changes brought on by Heroine, a physically affecting drug (In a chemical process sort of way). Therefore it can be classified as a physical addiction if you play games that cause that sort of reaction.Much the same way that Porn is, IMO, a physical addiction, for reasons that should be obvious.[/citation]

I think a mental addiction is something you do that causes a chemical response that's addictive in your brain. A physical addiction would be a chemical you add to yourself that you're addicted to. So mental would be gaming, gambling, adrenaline, sex, etc. Physical would be nicotine, THC, Heroine, etc. The tough distinction is things like sugar and fried food. There's probably a calorie/sugar rush involved (chemical), but also an endorphine or adrenal response (physical). I guess those would be both?

Pathetic...on BOTH the stepfather and the mother. If you can't take care of six children, face the facts, they'd be better off somewhere else. But especially pathetic on the mother. There is no other way to spin this.
