Can gambling addiction lead to domestic violence?

[Wiwo]

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.

There is what we call transfer of aggression, this is a situation where an individual who is not able to handle their emotions tend to burst out on the wrong issues, not attacking the main reason behind their emotional crisis, this can happen when a gambler lose huge sum of money, it will affect their emotions and will power to the extent of transfering that anger on any person that is around them, and such can be so tiring, and this can happen to even a none addicts.

I have seen some people who are not physically addicted to any thing like gambling but still have such issues with anger management so we may not have to blame gambling addictions for such an act but then also we need to specifically point out the danger of gambling addiction and how badly it can affect all other aspects of someone life.

when a gambling addict goes home and the first thing they hear is their nagging wife it really will boil the blood of the addict. and when he goes to the table without something to eat, it will turn the addict into a battering husband.

this is the kind of life in which the addict usually ends up either a drug addict or a gambling addict, especially if he doesn't contribute to making the wife's life easy.

Yes, they as gambling addicts will certainly be able to commit domestic violence, especially when they come home in a state of defeat and at home the wife asks too much from her husband, so the husband will commit violence if he can no longer control his emotions and usually someone Of course, gambling addicts will forget their responsibilities towards their family because they gamble too often and will not be able to meet their family's needs.

Not all domestic violence, it is caused by someone who is addicted to gambling. However, when someone is addicted to gambling, both husband and wife, gambling addiction can be a trigger for quarrels and domestic violence.

If a person experiences a feeling of addiction to gambling, it proves that the person does not have good self-control and emotions. Gambling addiction often causes serious financial problems, including mounting debt and loss of family economic resources, which makes financial and economic conditions in the family unstable. Apart from financial problems, it is very easy for those who are addicted to gambling to feel stress and high emotional pressure. In addition, a gambling addict often lies to hide and justify his very detrimental gambling activities.
Where these pressures can trigger conflict and domestic violence. Those who are addicted to gambling have very poor emotional control and to express their frustration and anger in gambling, they no longer hesitate to commit domestic violence.

An aggressive person who gambles has the potential to become violent because it already is in their nature, while an individual who is not aggressive by nature will not become violent even if they become addicted to gambling.

Gambling addiction does not make people violent or capable of domestic violence, violent people who become addicts to gambling are capable of domestic violence.

Not all addict but there could be cases too of domestic violence from gambling addiction. I think it's well documented for all addiction specially drugs. It might be subtle effect though, but still it could lead for lets say to abuse their spouses and put the blame on them as we don't know what extend a addicted gambler will do if they lose a game. So it's very dangerous effect, but I do hope that no one here from our community specially physical abuse as might have a worst result.

It's serious and unacceptable violation of human rights, specially if you did it to your wife or even to your children who has nothing to do with your losing money, and thus venting and being aggressive to them.

[Slow death]

all people who are addicted to something, be it people who are addicted to alcohol, people who are addicted to drugs or people who are addicted to gambling, whenever they are not doing the thing they are addicted to, they tend to become very unstable and often become very aggressive. . For example, a person who plays in casinos for 6 hours every day, then that person runs out of money to play and in that time of 6 hours without playing, that person will start looking as if that time was taking a long time to pass and as a consequence the person starts to have aggressive behavior and when other people try to restrain him, then that person addicted to gambling will fight with them

I've heard many stories of people who killed their relatives because they were addicts and their relatives were trying to cure them and they didn't want to be admitted to a rehabilitation clinic, so they went to kill their relatives. When doctors keep telling everyone who has a relative or friend who is an addict to take the addict to the hospital urgently, the relatives most often refuse to take the addict to the hospital sooner. One of the biggest difficulties that exists in the fight against domestic violence is that people who are attacked refuse to report the aggressor to the police because they think that the aggressor will change his behavior, even when the domestic violence has lasted for many years

This is practically the base action to every gambling addict and believe me my friend you would be surprised to what gambling addiction can do in the life of a chronic gambler. When it comes to gambling addiction and domestic violence I really can count the number of cases that am well familiar with and most of them are involving the issues of the woman giving advice to her husband for the excuses for him always squandering his money and the man lashes out all his frustration on her like a panther waiting aimlessly for his prey.

Obviously, gambling addiction can make a person more dangerous from domestic violence. I think it is a regular routine of a addicted gambler house There will always be turmoil in the family and eventually there will be domestic violence. If you search Google with a little trouble, you can easily see what other crimes people can commit as a result of gambling addiction.

This is why it would really be that important that you should really be that responsible when it comes to your gambling habit. It is really just that common sense that once that addiction is really that severe then it would really be something that will really be resulting into something like this on which we dont really be able to expect that it could really happening on which things turns out to be that non ethical anymore but since you are already that too addicted with gambling then you could really do things that you havent done it before or something that very extreme on which it isnt really that shocking that you would really be
having that kind of possibility on the time that you do become that too impulsive and really that dedicated to play specially if you dont have funds in your pocket.

This is why it would really be that wise that you should really be having that good control when it comes gambling activity and dont make yourself that addicted as simple as that.

Let me say I first saw this domestic violence remark a while ago in this gambling section, and at first, I wanted to query it, but on the other thoughts, I discovered that it is so possible. And yes, gambling responsibly is key here, if one wants to overcome all these unnecessary bad sides of gambling, he must obey the good and simple rules of gambling, there is no alternative to that. But if one can't obey it, anything is possible which includes the domestic violence we are talking about. Now, how can it happen? It is simple. Most people often get angry when they are broke, well, if you are not, many people do, this is true unless you are just the person who has trained yourself not to be sentimental, emotional or pass aggression, just like me, but I know that many people around me do.

This is purely psychological, and for people to be very happy when they earn big money or win the Jackpot and similar events that give money, one can do the opposite when they lose or their expectations are cut-off. This can unfortunately cause anger and aggression depending on how they can handle themselves and the situation in question. Imagine the person who had suffered a huge loss today, maybe his whole project money or salary had been wasted in the casino house, and when he got home, the wife started pressuring him again. Such might not be able to handle it like though the loss never happened. This is just an example as similar cases could trigger it even if the person is not provoked, so it is possible. But I urge everyone to be able to control how they feel, it is not worth it to be mad due to losses, that shows the person is weak. You shouldn't have gambled with the money that will hurt you in the first place, so who is to blame if not you?

Crime and other correlated things would really happen if gambling addiction would really be kicking in. This is why it would really be that best that you should really mindful about dealing
with gambling because once you do find yourself getting derailed on what are the things that should really be done or being simply responsible then this is where it would be resulting
into something devastating on which if it comes into a point that you are already doing things which arent supposed to be done. It could really be leading into domestic violence
on which i do agree that if things could really happen into your own home or family then how much more into public places on which you could really freely make those kind of reactions or doings?

Honestly for this problem I have never found or heard of cases of gambling addicts who commit violence against their family members whether it is their children or their wives, but certainly if I look at the bad behavior of an addict then maybe I can say that gambling addiction has the potential to make someone act aggressively in family relationships and it is very possible for them to commit acts of violence, one scenario that is quite plausible is as we know that an addict is those who are always excessive in their gambling involvement, They are willing to do anything just to gamble and if they run out of money then usually loans are what they will use as an alternative to finance their gambling, not only this because some crimes are also very likely to be committed, I once heard on one of the TV news broadcasts that there were three people who were desperate to steal a jewelry store and when they were interrogated they said that all the money from the theft was allocated to gambling, this is the bad thing about gambling and also the reason why we must try to always be a responsible gambler.

Another reason why I say that a gambling addict is very likely to commit acts of violence in their domestic relationship is because as I said about those who I have told above who are desperate to become criminals, and also usually gambling addicts find it difficult to accept the fact of losing which in turn they can bring their emotional atmosphere into the house.

Cases of domestic violence due to gambling often occur in low-income communities. There are lots of references that can be read in several Southeast Asian media.
Because I also happen to be Asian, so I understand very well about this incident. On average, husbands are addicted to gambling and sell everything in the house, and don't even give any money to their wives.
This is what causes differences of understanding which ultimately lead to domestic violence. And quite a few end up being murder cases.

The truth is it's not actually gambling that causes the bad behaviors of people but it's a habit that's inbuilt in them that has not been resolved before venturing into gambling. since this bad behaviors of hitting people are home is rooted in them getting the emotions that loses incurred in them might have provoked the anger in them leading to domestic violence.

What I'm saying in essence is that one's bad behaviors shouldn't be blamed on gambling because same way people who do not gamble creates domestic violence in every home same way gamblers do too the only difference is one gambles and the other does not.

And the only way to cop with this bad behaviors plus gambling addiction is to change ones mind set first before change every other characteristics.

For a gambler that naturally he/she has anger issues it is very easy to find such a gambler transfer aggression uncontrollably towards their partner or people around them. The emotional pain of losing their money coupled with a naturally innate anger issues there's nothing hard for such a loser addictive gambler from transferring his aggression on every little matters and before you know it someone is suffering an abuse from them. Though incidents of domestic violence resulting from  gambling addiction is very limited yet it doesn't mean it doesn't happen somewhere in the world .

[MainIbem]

I have never seen but often happens to me not to the extent of hitting anyone in the house but sometime I easily got angry if my bets didn't go as predicted that is to say when i lost my games I will becomes so aggressive in a way that when someone talks to me in a manner that i don't like I will easily pick offense to every thing they are saying around me but won't hit anyone. If I can control mine then maybe who knowns if any person out there can possibly react against it when they lost their bets.
Most times when I lost my bet I go straight inside to remain calm without interacting much people so that I won't pick offense if they don't speak what pleases me.

Lots of factors including but not limited to gambling leads to domestic violence. That's why most families need to work hard at rescuing a member who find it difficult getting out of any form of addiction. A family with a good intention for the growth of their ward would endeavor to save him from struggling. Although it only gets worse each day, neglecting a family member is quite not easy compared to one would get if he was an acquaintance. Domestic violence can erupt when the family isn't capable for controlling the addict's behavior. Things also get rough along every line of the healing process. Hence, one shouldn't think they'll wouldn't be some grievous encounter between the rescue team, his family. Addiction is as injurious to the addict as it is to the parent or family. People hardly withstand pain without getting enraged at any unwanted behavior. So, we are expected to see a domestic violence in such situations as gambling addiction.

Yeah, it can actually cause domestic violence. If you must know, people usually have different temperaments, and with such a difference in temperament, every gambler will always react differently when they experience losses in gambling.

There are some addicted gamblers who can actually steal the money that belongs to their spouse and use it for gambling. They may end up losing that money, and if they are confronted by their spouse, it could lead to domestic violence.

As long as some addicted gamblers can steal to make sure they gamble, while others can also leave their 2-year-old baby alone at home just for them to go and gamble, then it is evident that addiction to gambling can lead to domestic violence.
