How do I get someone to realize they have an addiction?

Example: I play what I call “fiddle games”, something to wile away downtime. Sometimes I have a lot of downtime, sometimes not. Sometimes I’m checking emails, social media, but my device or phone is mostly in my hand. I can put it down and walk away though and not worry about my games for hours.

My mother however plays games constantly at home and misses out on conversations, dialogue in TV shows/movies and has to ask what’s going on, she will set a timer to remember when to do something in a game.

As she’s sitting there playing her games (ignoring me while I’m visiting) I’ll pick up my device and do something and she will immediately say, “You’re too focused on your games, you need to stop.”

I don’t know how to get through to her she’s as addicted or more than I am. She thinks because she’s 67 and playing Yahtzee and Words with Friends etc she’s not addicted.

TL/dr; I can’t convince my gaming addicted mother she’s addicted while she accuses me of being addicted.

In the wake of the reporting about Trumps sister Maryanne being so involved with defrauding their fathers estate and her brothers tax evasion, how likely do you think it is she will be indicted as well?

Hi, big fan, fellow Canadian. So proud you represent us in Hollywood. Much love and break a leg.

I scrolled the questions but didn’t see this:

What would you do if you weren’t an actor? Any non-acting dream job growing up?

What style of music? Who’s your favourite Canadian band?

Thank you! I’ll try your suggestions.
