Sometimes gambling becomes a reason for a broken relationships. It is a big issue to some spouse specially if their partners are addicted in gambling and forget the importance of being a father, a husband and all responsibilities will be taken for granted. A gambler should know how to managed his time to avoid family problem and eventually lead to a bigger problem in the future.
And please don't wait before it gets too late to quit and change for good. Don't wait that one day you'll wake up all by yourself and your family was no where to be seen and that's because they already leave you. I have seen this kind of story from my friend that didn't know that he almost forgot he have some stomachs needed to fed so in the end his wife and kids leave him and now he's living in a miserable life and don't know how to put back all the things that's get broken.
