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 who may not depend on the addicted gambler but are not happy about their son or daughter's addiction are parents.
I prefer ways to avoid the addiction to those that are indirectly affected.
Addiction is a bad reality and everyone needs to avoid it regardless of who is affected, be it the gambler himself or his relatives, this is why most times we always try to create a room where we are safe from all addiction tendencies and try to escape any of it possibility, one of the reasons why addictions are viewed as a community crisis is the impact of addiction in the overall well being of the gamblers and since he is a member of a community will definitely rob off on the community at last.
So at best gambling addictions are a call for concern for everyone since gambling addictions could result in circumstances that may be hard to control and could drag the community into turmoil if not checked and dealt with on time.
