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.
I prefer ways to avoid the addiction than those that are indirectly affected.
Yes the one who would be most affected are those who depends on the gambler, if they already have kids the kids would be the one who would feel the consequences of the addicted gambler because of thet would struggle financially.
I agree that parents would surely be affected but not as much as the gamblers kids, sometimes they would even be made fun because of it in short they could also be bullied due to their parents gambling addiction.
It would be a shame if children had bad effects due to parents who are addicted to gambling. It is important to learn to control income and expenses well. Not all income is allocated to gambling, as a responsible parent you should think about how your household life will run. Don't let children get bad treatment from the surrounding environment, which is the result of irresponsible parents. Stop or leave gambling if it makes life difficult.
