With the mistake he made by selling the property he owned, the gambler has indirectly made his family members suffer because of his wrong behavior, and not only that, the gambler must also pay attention to whether he is truly addicted or not, if not. His family members can still advise him slowly so that he can recover from being a gambler, but if he is really seriously addicted then it is impossible for him to be advised so that he recovers quickly and becomes aware of his wrong behavior.
Family members cannot survive and cannot meet their daily needs, especially if the addict is the head of the family, where he instead uses all the family's money to gamble. This will cause huge problems for his family and may immediately explode, where his wife will immediately ask for a divorce if her husband shows no signs of changing to reduce his gambling activities. However, it is difficult for a gambling addict to be advised to reduce his gambling addiction unless he can realize it after he sees the impact felt by his family. But his family members must continue to try to wake him up from his gambling addiction so that they can overcome the problem together.
Well, when the family members will find that you have sold the property for gambling, then it means it will be a big disaster for them, which has already been done. No way, this is something which no gambler family will want to see. I guess this is so big step that it can leave to severe disturbance in the family relationship and might end up even on divorces too. I just can't imagine the reaction of this selling property for gambling (and losing that money too).
The problem occurs when the gambling addict starts using the money for his family. But a bigger problem arises when a gambling addict starts selling his property just to gamble and this will make it difficult for his family to survive. They will not be able and unable to see what the gambling addict is doing so his wife will ask for a divorce so they can be free from the addict. If this happens, children will experience the psychological impact of the divorce and will always remember it in their memories. They will really hate the gambling addict and won't even want to see him again.
This is why we say that gambling addiction in bad. It will only bring bad name to the gambling and also people who are addicted do not use their mind. They do not know what they are doing. Their only mission is to get money for gambling, no matter from which source. This is so sad to hear such news of gambling addicts taking such severe steps. I wish someone may taught these gamblers to remain responsible otherwise it can ruin their life's.
Gambling addiction only causes problems for the addict and his family, both directly and indirectly, so they will have difficulty repairing their relationship. Yes, it is indeed sad to see family relationships destroyed because of gambling and there is no chance of starting a new life again if the gambling addict does not realize his mistake and is addicted to gambling. The family will not want to meet the gambling addict if the addict has not been able to heal himself because he is very hurt by the addict. But if the addict is willing to realize his mistake and intends to cure himself of his gambling addiction, maybe his family will want to help him get out of his gambling addiction.
