I have seen some examples where gamblers started staying away from their families just because they did not want them to know about their gambling habits. Gambling has really destroyed many families and made many families suffer a lot.
I've seen people like that. They forgot their family, they never think about them if they are fine or if they are eating right on time. But when all their money is gone, they return home, then fight with their wives. It is becoming a daily routine to them.
They never think about their future, when they grow old, and how will their children react if the gambler asks money to them. Gambling addicts should think about it.
They probably would realize things like that when it's already too late and they've lost what's really important for them. Sometimes ifnyou think about it, it's hard to understand why some addicted gamblers can stomach a miserable life for the sake of their vices
