My father is convinced he’s won a fake Facebook lottery despite evidence and police warnings. I worry for his finances since I cannot take control. What can I do?
i’ve seen this before and often a subtle approach works best. sometimes the best method is to slowly introduce more evidqnce that challenges the scam idea without pushing him directly. even sharing your own past mistakes or near misses can help him reevaluate his stance. letting him find inconsistencies on his own can be more impactfull than forced advice. while it might seem frustrating, patience and consistency can really help guide his decisions over time. remeber, change comes gradually and forcing an abrupt change may worsen the situation.
hey, i get the vibe. maybe gently drop inof that makes him think again. sometimes subtle hints beat a direct confrontration. hang in there, change might come slow but your support stays key.
Hey, I totally feel you on this – it’s such a tough spot and you clearly care a lot about your dad. I’d say maybe try approaching him with a mix of patience and empathy. Instead of trying to convince him outright that it’s a scam, see if you can share some stories or experiences from others who have fallen for similar things. Sometimes hearing a cautionary tale might hit home better than straight-up advice. Also, it might help to have someone else he trusts (maybe a family friend or relative) casually bring it up in conversation. Remember, it’s really hard to change someone’s belief, but gently planting seeds of doubt might work over time. And, hang in there – you’re doing the best you can. Sending you good vibes and hope that things work out for the best 
hey, try having a calm chat with him. show him some real facts and let him see red flaggs on his own. sometimes a gentle talk helps more than forcing control. good luck, man.
