I don't face such thing as this one but I can understand the lesson that he needs to stop or else he may face the same consequence and experience.
Yes it really affects me my past incidents in gambling. It's really difficult to be addicted in gambling because you might lost you're family as well.This situation affects me until now l can't move on.
You have to move on or else you will be chase up by that situation that you are facing. Better to lose money rather than to lose your loved ones because of gambling.
I agree, once we are involve to gambling it was not easy to stop it. As the time passed by it was like gambling controlling us and getting our attention to give on it. It can really destroy one realtionship like family, so if you dont want to destroy your family better to stop it and do your best for it. Family over money must you need to
Put in your mind.
