Daughter or son, I'd feel bad about it when I am on the right age and this savings that should be used for my future and emergencies have been spent to gambling. I won't be like him but we look up as kids to our parents and that's why he has to be responsible. While it's not the end of the world but this dad needs to do the better and change for the betterment of his relationship with his wife and children. Addiction is hard and getting out of it takes time and that's why I'm wishing that this dad will choose what's best for the family and not only for his triggering factor when he wants to gamble. He can continue to gamble but make sure that he still prioritizes his family and never touch funds that's not his.
