- That's really bad, just because of the addiction to gambling and just to relieve it, even one's own grandson will be used just for money.
This is just one of the bad effects of gambling addiction.
So it's really important that you have self-control so that you don't end up like this. This is shameful and it is not normal for someone to do this. It's actually a psychological problem. It's sad when old people are still like that.
Yes self control is the ultimate tool to avoiding gambking addictions, because we have seen cases that are worst than this all as a result of gambling addictions, i hard a story of a guy who used his mum medical fees to gamble and lost everything while the mum is in the hospital, and this really affeted the family well being for a very long time while the son still struggle with the addiction.
But not many gamblers have that and often they lose control of what they have been doing. Self-control is the most important thing when gambling, it functions like we use a helmet to ride a motorbike and if an accident occurs, we will still be safe because of this safety. I am very concerned when there is such an incident and it is very unfortunate what his son has done, maybe from this story we should be more aware of how dangerous gambling addiction is and it comes back to each individual how they overcome existing addictions.
