Of course, there are many indirect victims of gambling addiction. Can you add more?
It is as simple as saying those that financially dependent on the gambler. The only people that may not depend on the addicted gambler but not happy about their son or daughter addiction are parents.
Not only those who are financially connected to the gambler, but it can be generalized to all those who have moral relationships with him, such as family members (in general), close friends and neighbors. This is because excessive gambling affects a person's entire behavior in such a way that it affects all his relationships. It is true that some close people can end the relationship with him and avoid the resulting troubles, but there are types of relationships that are not affected by all circumstances and are able to withstand. I can mention to you a personal experience with a friend who was addicted to gambling. We were all his friends helping him try to overcome his ordeal, and none of us thought of abandoning him, even though his behavior often became hostile and he tended to temporarily boycott everyone who wanted to help him. These are symptoms of illness, and those close to them who are concerned should be aware of this.
I Understand the situation perfectly, things with addicts may have affected many, and that is what we, when we sit down to play, must realize that not only the people who suffer from it also suffer those who are always making a difference next to them. We, our family, friends, they affect everyone, all these things are what we must see, that is why we have to understand responsibility and mature it in every sense, because we cannot be thinking that these things are so simple, that we can play with our things.
Sometimes the people who become Addicted do not give importance to what they have to lose, they do not give importance to family things, nor do they feel sorry for anything, they do not care about shame if they have it or not, for example The reason is that we have to make a difference, that is why these topics are Useful to help Everyone we can.
