I think it's a bit strange when the family doesn't know, because a gambler will definitely show unusual behavior, such as their money running out quickly or other things related to money. For me personally, from there, questions started to arise, why did his money run out so quickly, for example, and that could be the start of following up on what he was actually doing. I don't think it's possible for a gambling addict not to exhibit unusual habits, especially in financial terms.
Not everyone can be open with other people even though it is their own family, if a gambling addict is a closed person then it is impossible for his family to know how financial he has so it is difficult to find out.
On the other hand, I believe not many people want to tell or show their finances because this stage is a privacy that is so guarded.
Yes, it is clear that gambling activities and addiction can be shown when someone holds a cellphone or uses a PC all the time while gambling because a gambling addict can spend a very long time using a cellphone or PC for them to play.
Indeed, in this case, not everyone can be open, but when they are still living with their parents, in fact, if the parents really care about the child's unnatural behavior, it can actually be seen under any circumstances.
Unless the parents don't really care. But indeed in this case, especially from the point of view of the parents who have indeed freed this, maybe this is one of the reasons because in this case, when we as children are adults, there will definitely be privacy, which of course must be maintained.
But still, addicts will be easily identified if some of the irregularities that you mentioned above are the impact of addiction, because the nature of the behavior of the addict will show their character directly, the ignorance of parents with what their children do may be one of the causes Gambling was done very crazy at home, or maybe the addict could be able to hide himself well and argue that he spent money playing video games even though he did gambling.
But there are gamblers that are smart enough in the beginning, they know that there is a chance that they can fall to the category of addicts. And yet, despite people having college degrees and have good education, they still failed to control their emotions and then it's going to be late because they have been addicted already.
I can't argue about that as that's reality,
there are real people who failed to control even they've got enough knowledge about the danger of getting too much engagement
with gambling, people who think that they are just enjoying around but in the sad reality they already lose a lot because of gambling.
I agree that even people who already have a higher education degree still cannot control emotions and I witness it directly.
They played but they forgot that the ambitions who were playing were not himself with his consciousness so that addiction was faster than what they were thinking and intended in pleasure.
There is a close friend of mine a addict, playing crazy enough every time he has money, he is still working but his money is always running out in gambling and I think he will not get the future if it continues like that, strangely he knows what he is doing is wrong And always asking me to help him stop in gambling but never succeeded because of the work of the work of the work most of the gambling players that affect it so that what he wants always fails.
He is intelligent, has a job that has a high salary but always hasbis and cannot save for his future.
