With a separate account between the money for gambling and the account for the family, of course we can continue to gamble without fear of destroying our family's life.
That is a very good strategy, it is similar to what I always do, in fact one of the things that I apply is, I allocate only a percentage of my money to risk, and I respect that, I learned that when that money already destined to play is lost you must assume the loss and not break your own rules. From my own experience, I understand that by breaking one's own rules for the game the chances of winning are very minimal, in fact despair and stress make you lose money quickly. That is why it is always best to have the best of all money protection and strategies.
