Topic: Can gambling addiction lead to domestic violence? - page 7. (Read 2111 times)

What is wrong is wrong and no need to justify it. A hostile person is a hostile person whether he is busy or not. I have seen a case of a pastor who beats his wife. Now tell me, what justification will such a person have for beating his wife? the truth remains that our profession or state of being doesn't change us to who will are not. What a man manifests is his innate character. Most people naturally have anger issues. They are so quick to react to issues even when such a thing doesn't call for anger when viewed from the lens of a reasonable man.

This is the same with gamblers who are quick to anger. Gambling is an emotional and mental activity and without control, anger and frustration can easily be the outcome of losing a bet. When this happens, everything his wife or children do creates problems because he is so angry that he wants to transfer aggression to anything and since his wife is closer she becomes a victim of the frustration. To me, gambling is not the cause of this, it is the person who naturally has anger issues and that is why he can be easily triggered into showing his real self.

They are people who gamble because they see a chance of winning, so a misunderstanding arises which makes them assume that gambling is a "place to make money", and with this it is clear that they will place their hopes on this activity, especially to win, they always think that "they will it's that easy" even though the fact is clear, perhaps you also already know that it is not easy to win if basically we are far from luck, but if you are lucky then victory will also come by itself.

Gambling is not a place to make money, we must always remember this because casinos only give gamblers "opportunities" which means they are still "possibilities" that may not necessarily happen, therefore it is very normal if you experience defeat because gambling is always inseparable. with what is called possible risk. But with a wrong perspective and understanding, it is clear that they will not accept the defeat they experience, which in the end makes them far from being responsible gamblers in the sense of not accepting the defeat, which ultimately makes them emotional and take all external actions into action. control over those closest to them such as family members. Therefore, it is really very important to understand what gambling really is, this is not a place to make money because there is no certainty that can guarantee you to win at the end of the session.

Man, just stop this spam, I've not gone through your post history to see if this is actually your writing style, but if this actually is your writing style, then try and change or make a witch, you won't go far writing like this, this is a discussion forum and not a poem contest platform, if other users can writing what you can read , understand and even reply to, then courtesy demands that you do the same, I understand that you might be highly educated but bring yourself down to a level where everyone can understand you, as your comment above (sorry to say) is completely nonsense, I can not make anything meaningful from all you said aside from the fact that I understand that you are in agreement with the comment you replied to, which I myself also agree by the way.

But also would say that, domestic violence from gamblers is not something or a crime that is committed by addicted gambler alone, so, we can not categorically say that, addicted gamblers are the only ones who molest and maltreate their spouses and children at home, for there have been instances where a man after losing to betting goes home with the anger, and out vexation, pounces on his wife or child on a little provocation, this man is not an addict, but simply lacks self control.

Its heartbreaking when gambling tension turns home into a battleground.

But I believe in knowledge and transformation. First, recognize the value of family and a harmonious home life to heal. Gamblers must understand their behaviors and find responsible ways to use gambling. We must set limits, know when to pull back, and most importantly, value our loved ones' emotional well-being. Mindful fun gambling can coexist with a joyful, balanced home life.

Keep in mind that all parties must support and comprehend. Key is communication. Talking about the issues and setting limits can improve our relationship with gambling and our family. You need to find the right balance between enjoyment and excess. The mutual delight and understanding that enrich our lives make balance and respect worthwhile.

It's not everyone that can handle failure, some people will do evil thing just because they are been sacked at work, I am a living proof of such evil act in my area, this guy forcefully beat up a woman and take all her money and when he was caught he said he lost his sense because he got sacked by a jealous boss, and this doesn't have any meaning again since he already committed a crime.

Men should learn to control themselves when things aren't working in their favour either in gambling or in our real lives, and with gambling it's a bit different, because you gathered a lot of money for months only to lose it all in gambling, lack of knowledge have made many men useless for their families and the anger will begin.

Like I told someone who reported the gambling habit of his older brother to me, I told her that it's still better, he is addicted and he keep losing money, and when he lost money he only knows how to drink in a bar, to drain away his sorrow, it's still fair compare to those that blame others for their losses and start doing evil things to people.

Indeed, the main trigger for gambling-related violence also comes from activities that have the worst possible outcome, instead of having victories like a million drops of water to cool the soul, all there are are failures like a million fires, burning and pushing emotions to endless heights, just someone coming close will be the place to bring out this fire to erase part of the pain of the fire, to take away the heaviest things. Unfortunately, arguments and noises at home are the places that lead to violence, moments of domination by evils beyond control

When you are involved in gambling too much and you do not make money as per your expectations or start to lose more, you become frustrated and this frustration can lead to domestic violence where the wife and children of the gambling addict are most affected. In this situation, if the man or the husband is dominant in the house, he will be undue strict to his children and spouse creating too much tension in the house that is not needed. This frustration and violence won't make the gambler win in gambling or recover his lost money.


How sad is it that if one person in the house is gambling addicted, the whole of the house suffers from it. The friends and relatives are somewhat saved from the gambling addict's torture because they do not live with him and they are not dependent on him. However, the person who may suffer the most would be the wife of the gambler (in case he is married).

This is normal in gambling addiction because mostly they wanted to blame others because of their losses and indeed that they mostly turn into their family member and ending up beating them.
There is a family that we handled in the past that the father killed His son because of gambling addiction that he cannot control Himself everytime he goes home loser, and each time the Boy was His punching bag until he died.

Even if the player expresses his aggression towards relatives or family, this will continue every time more and more violently. This needs to be stopped immediately, the wife and children should leave immediately and not try to believe that one day this will stop. I understand that few people make this decision, and they believe that the player will definitely stop and this was the last time, but I can disappoint many, because this most likely will not happen. Are you ready to risk your psychological health and the health of your children, I personally am not. These losses are just a lack of luck in the game, so why should the surrounding relatives suffer because of this.

I want to say that, of course, due to constant failures and losses in gambling, a player may have a nervous breakdown, which can take any form, including splashing out on family members, but it would be better if it were in the gym.

This is only true to those gamblers that don’t know how to limit their bankroll. Responsible Gambling should be read before a gambler starts gambling on any casino. Being violent after losing only shows that they can’t afford to lose the amount that they using for gambling.

I experienced a lot of losses in the past even brutal consecutive losses without any single win but I’m not reacting violently because I’m okay to lose that money since that is just a small part of my salary that I can recover easily on my next salary. Gambler should start learning to consider losses as payment for entertainment so that they will not react immaturely when in lose.

Those who are addicted to gambling and still experience loss as the major status of their bet result are like to become violent if they cannot control their emotions. Losing more than winning has a way of changing our mood normally, so it's your ability to control your emotions that determine how professional you are with gambling, those who gamble often without having issues with their families have learnt how to control their emotions. But majority of gamblers who are addicts are violent especially when they just finish Loosing their bets.

In as much as they are genuine reason of frustration, they are not a good explanation for such expression of their frustration because such expression will not proffer solution to their situation still so it would be much better they go get a job and help their selves become much more better off than pouring out their frustration in violence.

Such violence never helps the situation rather it only worsen it by causing more harm than good because the family will be harmed by these actions and that will lead to incurring expenses to fixt that which was lost in cause of expressing anger and frustration. Gamblers should always keep their family out of the frustration caused them by gambling and so should their anger aswell be left at the casino and not making their kids, wife or siblings as the case maybe to suffer for that which they are not responsible for .

Many players have normal thoughts and emotions before they gamble, but later become aggressive when they start gambling. They have developed the hot-headedness even in small things and what's worse is that they gets angry at the people around them. I used to think it was inborn that they have such behavior where they become aggressive and always angry, but later on, I found out that it is actually possible to develop changes in a person depending on their lifestyle and current situation. If gambling leads to domestic violence, it means that a gambler is in the worst condition and needs help from medical professionals to provide a solution on how to be calm and composed.

Can gambling addiction lead to domestic violence ? Yes, of course
Is gambling addiction the reason of domestic violence? Yes and now. If a person isnt able to control his emotions, anything that makes him stressed or angry can lead to violence. With gambling chances of it to happen is high only because in gambling such person can quickly get a serious of negative emotions.
What should people around him do about ? Definitely not to ban or pause gambling. Such person can get angry because of that. What needs to do is to make him visit psychologist.

When someone is addicted to gambling, he will not think about other things, including his family, because he just wants to continue gambling, and it seems he will not stop even if he no longer has money. He will forcefully ask for money from people in his house and may even commit violence against those in his house in order to have money to continue his gambling activities. If they already have a gambling addiction and other addictions, such as drinking alcohol, it will only make their family's life worse because they will definitely commit domestic violence against the people in their house. He will not think about the fate of the people in his house, including his children, who may still be small. He only cared about himself; he wanted to gamble and drink because those were the only things that could make him happy. He no longer cared what the outcome of everything was because his mind was no longer able to think clearly. He had actually spent so much money that he had forgotten the total amount and no longer had anything of value because everything had been sold just to satisfy his lust for gambling and drinking.

Yes, addiction will have a bad impact on him and his family, especially since it has happened to several families. Those who are in the gambling addict's circle have really suffered because of the gambling addict's actions and cannot think about what they should do. They really need help from other people around them, but because of the pressure from the gambling addict, their family doesn't dare to tell the people around them and can only hide their suffering. Their family life is no longer predictable because there are so many problems that come and go that they no longer know how to solve the problems. There is still a debt that must be paid immediately, and that was caused by the gambling addict who also borrowed money from several people and only said he would return the money. But he still couldn't return the money because he didn't have any more money.

Gamblers who have become addicted to gambling will no longer pay attention to their families because their focus has changed to gambling, and they will gamble more often than before. His family will experience the negative impact of the gambling addict's behavior, so they will suffer even more and will no longer know what they can do to get out of this problem. Maybe they think they will cure the gambling addict, but it is not easy because the gambling addict will not want to admit that he has a gambling addiction. He will only fall deeper into gambling without being able to get out of gambling easily. He will only add suffering to his family without thinking that, in fact, he has already caused a lot of problems for his family. He has also committed acts of violence against his family members just to ask for money to continue his gambling activities.

Gamblers undergo series of challenges, such as being violent with loved one, which is the worst among every other trouble a gambler could face in his entire life. Because on the long run, the family is all we've got at home. If we make it unbearable or uncomfortable for people there, it'll also get to be a no safe staying for the gambler. Hence, he'd find himself spending most of his time in the casino. As he's already caused troubles in his home and made it uncomfortable for himself and family. Thereby causing more addiction on the gambler. Whenever he's at home could be to sleep, because the violence he started has not been settled and he wouldn't have the energy to keep up with it, especially when he stays with vibrant and aggressive people. Gamblers are required to respect the emotions of the people around them, to keep them safe from being sad or over reactive to few negative results that could pop out from their gambling activity.

I think something, if we don't let's see , the things when you have an Addiction the person must be very Controlled in their emotions , if they have a family, then things or they must do them logically , they must respect their family , they must respect what that he has , cannot lead to domestic violence , generally a person who is not addicted usually gets many bad ideas into his head, for example, when we are in a Physical casino it is Very easy for Alcoholic beverages to be given , and If Suddenly things are not Controlled in the drinking , apart from losing in the game, one arrives drunk at the bar, that's the only thing, but because one can do it And one has to do it, I don't agree that a person becomes pogna like that because it's the only one, but, one like Human must know that things cannot happen like that, in this case we when we see him are still addicted, we must tell him Something, because he does not drink more because that means that a Whole person is going to spend more than I name it because the emcones become inhibited and there is no Longer any type of filter, if all the diene is used up, it is used up and that's it.

Addictions are always going to bring bad things for the person who has it and for their friends, family and those around them, because it is something that Affects Everything and Affects Everything it touches, I have seen how many people not only They lose their money , they get into Terrible debts, they lose friends because the friends lend them money and since the Player does not have the capacity to pay, they lose those Friendships Those friendships cause Problems Because they have to Pay them and apart from everything they end up with banks and all this can happen Given that things are going in favor of the people who have the problem cannot be Defended , I have always said that a person will always do the Right thing so that they Avoid many problems, because everything can be lost, but at most it is losing the Family, Due to Irresponsibility.

If a gambler is emotional, they will still think more about venting their emotions at the casino because there is security at the casino that will protect them and prevent them from committing violence or damaging anything in the casino. But the gambler can take his anger home and take it out on the people in his house. That is where there is violence in the household, which is caused by the gambler venting his anger towards his household. This domestic violence has occurred in many households and is caused by many things, not only from gambling but from other things. Those who gamble should be able to control their emotions so they don't lose control of themselves when gambling and don't take out their frustrations on the people in their house.

The worst impacts of gambling vary greatly, but the average is known based on research and cases that have occurred. Especially in serious addicts, they can lose control over their money, emotions and psychology. They are very likely to commit acts of violence due to losing control of their emotions and that is a really bad consequence.

If a gambler has reached the stage of losing control of his emotions and tends to take it out on anyone, including family, then perhaps the gambler really deserves to receive rehabilitation. Bad addiction and wrong thought patterns make his behavior bad, of course he must get treatment so that he at least has a mindset and behavior that is responsible for the consequences of gambling.

Addiction leads to violence at some point. If an addicted person, regardless of the cause, is abandoned and not taken care of, his trouble will eventually grow to a violent stage. Where he'd get paranoid over little things and tend to yell at people around him or in his circle. In the life of a gambling addicted person, his troubles are related to loss of money, which is very disturbing to the gambler. A gambler who is careless about wagering habit, can end up being violent, because he'd be neglecting other financial responsibilities. Which when reminded of him, he could get sad and begin to quarrel over it, since he has no money to solve the responsibility. Most of them, aggressive gamblers, end up being upset if a person tells them that gambling is the reason for their trouble. They think gambling is right, and attack anyone who thinks otherwise.
