Topic: Can gambling addiction lead to domestic violence? - page 14. (Read 2111 times)

Crime and other correlated things would really happen if gambling addiction would really be kicking in. This is why it would really be that best that you should really mindful about dealing
with gambling because once you do find yourself getting derailed on what are the things that should really be done or being simply responsible then this is where it would be resulting
into something devastating on which if it comes into a point that you are already doing things which arent supposed to be done. It could really be leading into domestic violence
on which i do agree that if things could really happen into your own home or family then how much more into public places on which you could really freely make those kind of reactions or doings?

Let me say I first saw this domestic violence remark a while ago in this gambling section, and at first, I wanted to query it, but on the other thoughts, I discovered that it is so possible. And yes, gambling responsibly is key here, if one wants to overcome all these unnecessary bad sides of gambling, he must obey the good and simple rules of gambling, there is no alternative to that. But if one can't obey it, anything is possible which includes the domestic violence we are talking about. Now, how can it happen? It is simple. Most people often get angry when they are broke, well, if you are not, many people do, this is true unless you are just the person who has trained yourself not to be sentimental, emotional or pass aggression, just like me, but I know that many people around me do.

This is purely psychological, and for people to be very happy when they earn big money or win the Jackpot and similar events that give money, one can do the opposite when they lose or their expectations are cut-off. This can unfortunately cause anger and aggression depending on how they can handle themselves and the situation in question. Imagine the person who had suffered a huge loss today, maybe his whole project money or salary had been wasted in the casino house, and when he got home, the wife started pressuring him again. Such might not be able to handle it like though the loss never happened. This is just an example as similar cases could trigger it even if the person is not provoked, so it is possible. But I urge everyone to be able to control how they feel, it is not worth it to be mad due to losses, that shows the person is weak. You shouldn't have gambled with the money that will hurt you in the first place, so who is to blame if not you?

This is why it would really be that important that you should really be that responsible when it comes to your gambling habit. It is really just that common sense that once that addiction is really that severe then it would really be something that will really be resulting into something like this on which we dont really be able to expect that it could really happening on which things turns out to be that non ethical anymore but since you are already that too addicted with gambling then you could really do things that you havent done it before or something that very extreme on which it isnt really that shocking that you would really be
having that kind of possibility on the time that you do become that too impulsive and really that dedicated to play specially if you dont have funds in your pocket.

This is why it would really be that wise that you should really be having that good control when it comes gambling activity and dont make yourself that addicted as simple as that.

Obviously, gambling addiction can make a person more dangerous from domestic violence. I think it is a regular routine of a addicted gambler house There will always be turmoil in the family and eventually there will be domestic violence. If you search Google with a little trouble, you can easily see what other crimes people can commit as a result of gambling addiction.

This is practically the base action to every gambling addict and believe me my friend you would be surprised to what gambling addiction can do in the life of a chronic gambler. When it comes to gambling addiction and domestic violence I really can count the number of cases that am well familiar with and most of them are involving the issues of the woman giving advice to her husband for the excuses for him always squandering his money and the man lashes out all his frustration on her like a panther waiting aimlessly for his prey.

all people who are addicted to something, be it people who are addicted to alcohol, people who are addicted to drugs or people who are addicted to gambling, whenever they are not doing the thing they are addicted to, they tend to become very unstable and often become very aggressive. . For example, a person who plays in casinos for 6 hours every day, then that person runs out of money to play and in that time of 6 hours without playing, that person will start looking as if that time was taking a long time to pass and as a consequence the person starts to have aggressive behavior and when other people try to restrain him, then that person addicted to gambling will fight with them

I've heard many stories of people who killed their relatives because they were addicts and their relatives were trying to cure them and they didn't want to be admitted to a rehabilitation clinic, so they went to kill their relatives. When doctors keep telling everyone who has a relative or friend who is an addict to take the addict to the hospital urgently, the relatives most often refuse to take the addict to the hospital sooner. One of the biggest difficulties that exists in the fight against domestic violence is that people who are attacked refuse to report the aggressor to the police because they think that the aggressor will change his behavior, even when the domestic violence has lasted for many years

Not all addict but there could be cases too of domestic violence from gambling addiction. I think it's well documented for all addiction specially drugs. It might be subtle effect though, but still it could lead for lets say to abuse their spouses and put the blame on them as we don't know what extend a addicted gambler will do if they lose a game. So it's very dangerous effect, but I do hope that no one here from our community specially physical abuse as might have a worst result.

It's serious and unacceptable violation of human rights, specially if you did it to your wife or even to your children who has nothing to do with your losing money, and thus venting and being aggressive to them.

An aggressive person who gambles has the potential to become violent because it already is in their nature, while an individual who is not aggressive by nature will not become violent even if they become addicted to gambling.

Gambling addiction does not make people violent or capable of domestic violence, violent people who become addicts to gambling are capable of domestic violence.

Not all domestic violence, it is caused by someone who is addicted to gambling. However, when someone is addicted to gambling, both husband and wife, gambling addiction can be a trigger for quarrels and domestic violence.

If a person experiences a feeling of addiction to gambling, it proves that the person does not have good self-control and emotions. Gambling addiction often causes serious financial problems, including mounting debt and loss of family economic resources, which makes financial and economic conditions in the family unstable. Apart from financial problems, it is very easy for those who are addicted to gambling to feel stress and high emotional pressure. In addition, a gambling addict often lies to hide and justify his very detrimental gambling activities.
Where these pressures can trigger conflict and domestic violence. Those who are addicted to gambling have very poor emotional control and to express their frustration and anger in gambling, they no longer hesitate to commit domestic violence.

There is what we call transfer of aggression, this is a situation where an individual who is not able to handle their emotions tend to burst out on the wrong issues, not attacking the main reason behind their emotional crisis, this can happen when a gambler lose huge sum of money, it will affect their emotions and will power to the extent of transfering that anger on any person that is around them, and such can be so tiring, and this can happen to even a none addicts.

I have seen some people who are not physically addicted to any thing like gambling but still have such issues with anger management so we may not have to blame gambling addictions for such an act but then also we need to specifically point out the danger of gambling addiction and how badly it can affect all other aspects of someone life.

I've said this kind of things severally because I know quite well that gambling addition is basically depend on people who want to recover their money which then lost true gambling or through staking so I believe that it is one of the major reasons or the one of major thing that causes gambling addition to whoever that is a gambler totally I believe that the gambling can make you to be addicted when you believe that you will win gambling everyday and every time that you take again or every time that you lose in gambling that is why we have to have a total number of game we bet in particular season or particularly or weekly so that we will know how much we have profited in gambling

One common behavior among gambling addicts is the fact that they're always angry and emotionally hurt almost everytime which is caused by their continuous losses in the gambling engagements. It is because of that behavior of being prone to anger even on very little things that people are advised to not to always associate with them.

Gambling addiction can lead to domestic violence because whenever they're triggered as a result of their losses in gambling, they tend to transfer their aggression on anyone who's close to them. I've been opportuned to witness domestic violence that was caused by gambling addiction

From what I actually see in the environment I live in, most gambling addicts are selfish. They prioritize their own desires without thinking and acting rationally. It is possible to act violently if one's desires are thwarted, but this does not apply to everyone. If they commit violence and crime, perhaps their own attitudes and traits are not due to gambling. However, gambling addiction can also be an additional driving factor for someone to commit crime and violence.

It's possible, because addictions in general trigger aggressive behavior. If the gambler addicted is facing a long loss streak, losing money he can't afford to lose, hearing a lot of complaints at home from his wife regards his addiction, or is suffering from abstinence, it's possible he attacks her physically full of rage. Although not every addicted person will act like this. I think it will depend on their personal personalities and traits. Some people are more aggressive, while others are more passive and will tend to just get ashamed and depressive when confronted by their wives.

Potentially, it can get even worse when more than one kind of addiction are mixed, like for an example when the gambler is also an alcoholic or drugs user. In this case, I fear the combination might be fatal, and there is no other alternative for the wife besides getting ourt of the relationship as soon as possible for her own good and welfare of her children. Then the addicted individual can be sent to a rehabilitation clinic, and luckily, within time he can recover himself and adopt a new healthy lifestyle to be reintegrated to the society and family.

Not sure if there is correlation between the two, maybe there are gamblers who has uncontrollable behavior, but maybe it's just a small percentage. Many of us here at one point becoming gambling addicts like myself, but I didn't recourse to domestic violence even if I lost all my money in one day. However, I will quote this study,

But as I have said, perhaps there are gamblers that losses everything, financially and psychologically that they blame everyone around them, their spouses or even their children to the bad luck they have in gambling.

I think yes. Addiction can make your mental health in dire as there are a lot of things rounding up to your mind. If the gambler has other issues like for example having short temper and anger issues, there's a high chance that the gambler who has an addition can result to domestic violence. A stressed gambler because of losses partnered with unstable mind, there's a fat chance that the gambler can commit a crime. What more if the gambler become intoxicated with alcohol or substance, it's an added chance that a gambler can do anything that he can think.

Over all it depends on the gambler's characteristics, there are added factors and being a gambling addict can be one of that factors why a gambler can commit a domestic violence.

It's not gambling addiction that can lead to domestic violence; any kind of addiction may lead to malicious behaviors such as domestic violence, along with other mental illnesses in the background; it's never the addiction by itself. It puts you in a vicious cycle and can ruin you financially in an attempt to recoup previous losses. However, alcoholism is no better, and in my opinion, it's probably the worst addiction and the most likely to lead to domestic violence, not gambling. You can't have any kind of self-control when you're intoxicated.

Anyone who can't control themselves and resort to violence have major mental issues and lack of self control, the addiction is only the tree, but not the forest.

this is very likely to happen when a gambling addict cannot control their emotions and when they behave more aggressively and cannot control themselves to be rude to other people. especially when there are things they don't like, such as losing at gambling or when other people tell them not to gamble, usually these things will lead to violence.

so far there have been many cases where domestic violence occurred because a gambling addict behaved aggressively towards their family when something triggered their anger. this has even become a concern for the government and several ngos because the victims of domestic violence caused by gambling addicts not only suffer physical injuries but also psychological ones which lead to deep trauma.

Everything could be possible and this is something that you should really be wary about on which on the time that addiction hits then it would possibly make you do things which
you might been not be able to do for the rest of your life and this is something that would really be that normal specially into those people who do have those emotional problems
or having those temper problems because once you do able to encounter such frustration then you might be ending up these impulsive actions which it might cause harm into other people.

I have seen some situations in speaking about shoot out.

Is this one of those addicted gamblers? Or simply being hired on killing those people into that venue?

when a gambling addict goes home and the first thing they hear is their nagging wife it really will boil the blood of the addict. and when he goes to the table without something to eat, it will turn the addict into a battering husband.

this is the kind of life in which the addict usually ends up either a drug addict or a gambling addict, especially if he doesn't contribute to making the wife's life easy.
