Of course, there are many indirect victims of gambling addiction. Can you add more?
The indirect victims of gambling addiction are people who care about the gambler. It is on this gambling board that we have read stories like
- a man using his money meant for his wedding for gambling.
- a son using the school fees given to him by his parents for gambling.
As long as the gambler has a family and friends, there will always be indirect victims. It therefore rests on us to help out a brother or a friend who is struggling with gambling addiction that is a way to reduce the indirect effects of gambling.
Sometimes when I read the things that gamblers do, it's just amazes me and I don't know how someone let themselves get so addicted to till the part of actually selling their properties and even cancelling their marriage plans because of gambling, I mean these things are really crazy. As a brother or sister, friend and children of an addict, you would also suffer a great portion to the unwholesome behavior and character of that gambler because all the benefits that you are supposed to enjoy is being spoilt by that one crazy habit.
