How horrible the daugher should be feeling to witness such an incident.
It really is heart breaking to see a father do this to his child. It kind of breaks the trust factor between the family.
If the person is stealing from his own family then there are chances that he must be stealing from other places too.
I think the family should get him to quit gambling and only then the family will be able to sustain the relationship.
Many families have been broken due to gambling addiction, and it looks like this also happen to them soon. As I put the shoe on his daughter, I feel like I've been robbed, and not just trust has been gone but also respect. Maybe I will understand if he politely borrows the money, but since it was stealing, that is a different story. Even if he says sorry and asks for forgiveness, it still appears in my mind, and I think about it.
Tons of families and relationship or simply lost their lives or destroy lives because of gambling addiction on which it do comes into a point that you are really that indeed having that kind of engagement towards gambling and being that too hopeful about making money with it. When you are already on such addiction then you will definitely be ending up on having some issues in correlation with money and just like on this one that it is really that using up her daughters fund on which this do really shows that addiction is really that severe because on the moment that you are doing such act on which you arent minding whether you are affecting you family members then your mind is already thinking up solely with gambling or money making.
In this case then there's that potential that it could be ending up on divorce but of course everyone does have that second chance and lucky for you if you are the husband and your wife did really make you that giving out some chance for you to change. There are things that you do make out mistakes due to some wrong belief and we are just humans on which we are naturally greedy. There are really those people who are really that good to control and there are ones who failed.
