Can gambling addiction lead to domestic violence?

[Weawant]

Most times violence in the house can be as a result of idleness. When a man is idle and is supposed to be the bread winner of the house and he is not doing anything to support or back up the family, it annoys him and in most cases, he becomes hostile and aggressive just to  express his frustration. Doing this alone causes violence at home. Gamblers too vent their frustration at home violently when they loses games and this also results to violence in their house.

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 .

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.

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.

Being addicted to gambling can be a thorn in the flesh. We have heard many bad behavior from gambling addicts that shows that gambling is a serious concern requiring serious efforts at curbing it. Many casinos also include in their disclaimer "gamble responsibly" and this shows the danger of gambling addiction.

However, I'm wondering if addiction can make someone become aggressive to the point of leading to domestic violence. Has there been any known case of it happening? Lets know what you have to say.

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.

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.

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.

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 .

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).

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

[Z390]

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.

It is obvious that some gamblers do make such mistakes of transferred aggression at home after losing at gambling casinos. It is true that at casinos, there are Security's to enforce law and orderliness when gambling and with the presence of those security officers, losers can not act funny because if they do, they would be properly dealt with so in that case, a frustrated gambler would take his annoyance and anger home to vent it on his family there by causing domestic violence without minding the consequences of his actions.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Most times violence in the house can be as a result of idleness. When a man is idle and is supposed to be the bread winner of the house and he is not doing anything to support or back up the family, it annoys him and in most cases, he becomes hostile and aggressive just to  express his frustration. Doing this alone causes violence at home. Gamblers too vent their frustration at home violently when they loses games and this also results to violence in their house.

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.

Obviously, gamblers frustrations are too numerous not to talk of when they lose any game in which they have played. As a result of that they can not vent out their frustration at the casino, they do that in their homes which triggers violence in in most cases. However, advising them on self-control after gambling should be another topic of discussion because in most cases, gamblers does transfer their aggression to their various families after losing games and bets. I think It could work perfectly well if it happens that gamblers are being spoken to few minutes before and after gambling in a means of calming their temperament so they do not get violent at home, work and even at the casino as well.

The loss of money can make an addict to be sad, depressed and sometimes aggressive. Although, I've not seen a case where gambling is the cause of a domestic violence but if an addict can transfer aggression on his family members because of gambling loss, then there's the possibility that it could lead to domestic violence. When a man is repeatedly using the money meant to take care of the family to gamble, and everytime he comes home broke with one story or the other. Even if he's not abusive, the wife may be forced to physically attack him and it may escalate to something else.

there are many cases like this, domestic violence committed by gambling addicts, the reason gambling can make someone commit domestic violence is because gambling is related to money and many of those who are addicted to alcohol are gambling addicts.
just imagine, in a household, there will always be financial problems encountered and if your partner is a gambling addict then you will feel like you constantly need money then it will be impossible to avoid arguments with your partner, things like arguments that gambling addicts usually experience when they have a partner.

There's something I always tell myself: don't be close to someone when they're playing and don't be close to someone who is consuming alcohol or drugs. That's because when people here in my country are playing, they always tend to fight among themselves, every day it's been like this and I hear them fighting from my house, I've talked about this before. but it is such a shameful, sad situation that has been happening every day near my house that it is impossible to forget or ignore. I know very well that it's not the slot machines' fault, it's not the snooker table's fault, it's not the beer's fault. It's the fault of those people who go to bars every day, frustrated, to consume alcohol, then start playing and when they're losing, they're already at the alcohol limit.

They start to get irritated by little things that other people say, as a result of which they start to fight, this has happened every day here in my neighborhood. The police haven't done anything, in fact the police have hardly been around here. But it's a very sad situation. They often fight for the rest of the day, I wake up to their noise and I wonder how it is possible that people who went to sleep a lot because they were fighting over beer and other alcoholic drinks and games, wake up very early and fight over the same things. reasons. In my little head it's something very difficult to understand, I've tried to spend days trying to understand why these guys in my neighborhood are all friends when they're lucid and aren't playing anything~

They have behaved like animals when they are drinking alcohol and gambling, they insult each other, humiliate each other, then start to beat each other, while they are friends. The only thing that comes to mind is that they are addicted people who are at a very serious level of the disease. they have no control over themselves and they have started to enjoy violence. They are not polite people because of the environment they are in every day. For them, violence is the best way to forget their problems. something very sad because they keep hurting themselves

Even in cases where a partner is not involved in the household, there is still a relatively high percentage of change the gambling addict could develop a violent behavior with dealing with others within his family, his parents, his siblings or even cousins. Because of the pursue for the money to continue to feed the addiction. On the other hand, if there is no violent targeted towards the family members of the gambling addicted person, there is also a chance such person will try to violently get the money through physical assaulting someone. You know, the usual beginning with the petty crime in the streets is related to gambling, drugs or alcohol.
Sadly, it would seem that uncontrolled addictions like these we talk about here in this section of the forum always lead to either depression or violence. Not only the addicted person is the one who ends up paying the consequences of the addiction but also those around him.

On the time that your mind and emotion is on a stirred up condition due to addiction- doesnt matter on which form or type then you would really be having those chances on making such act
on which it do really passes out into that line on which a well thinking minded person couldnt really be able to  do so. We do know that if you are on a situation on which you are addicted
then you cant think up well, you would surely be prioritizing on things on which you do seem which is right and that really get in line with your interest and if it turns out that it cant be
possibly be able to obtain on that point then this is where these violence  would really be starting out to happen on which it is really just that sad that people do really end up
on this kind of act.

The gambler who loss the funds surely get the depression by the loss.Sonce they can’t show their anger anywhere the family will be the last result for the gamblers to show their anger.The worst part of the gambling addicted person is they will do the violence in their family.The children of the gambling addicted person was affected by the mental illness.The gamblers should use the vacation to short their gambling addiction losses and recover their loss of their own mental health.The gamblers who were not control their emotions may leads to the separation from their family member by the divorce by their own wife.

[alani123]

Perpetrators of domestic violence and abuse need to accept their full responsibility without putting any scapegoats in the middle.

Same goes for if you're a victim. Never accept any excuses. Have a bold stance against violence in all of its forms and state clearly that it's unacceptable.
Questioning if gambling can lead to violence is not that of a serious take to me. Psychological issues can lead to many things. If someone has issues with his mood, anger and compulsiveness then these need to be dealt with accordingly and in his own responsibility should avoid activities that might make him a danger to society, let alone his own family.

If need be, such people should avoid gambling. But better yet they should be accountable and fix themselves to avoid future troubles instead of blaming their bad manners on external factors.
