Can gambling addiction lead to domestic violence?

[moneystery]

     -     We have heard of many people who ended up with violent results because of gambling in the casino, others even managed to kidnap their own family just because of their addiction to gambling. Others ended up with a suicidal ending because of the large amount of money they lost in gambling.
....

the story of grandfathers kidnapping their grandchildren just to get ransom for gambling is quite crazy. just imagine a grandfather kidnapping his grandson just to get ransom money for gambling? i didn't know that gambling addiction could lead to crazy things like this, because someone who was supposed to protect his grandson from bad people actually committed a dishonorable act against his own grandson.

this also proves why gambling can be something that makes people commit crazy actions and not care about how they can get money for their gambling, the point is that they get money and can gamble with it.

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.

Gambling addiction can lead to many violent situations apart from the domestic violence itself, addiction makes you go for more and any behaviour that push you to do things that are abnormal can lead you to acting as an abnormal person, you have said it all @ op, domestic violence is caused by different things like husband or wife unusual act, just imagine a man or woman making use of money thats meant for the family important use, what do you expect to happen if any of the party gets to find out that such incident taken place, there may be abusive words that can lead to fight in the family.

I condemn addiction totally and every gambler needs to be careful so that they will not be in this kind of position, addiction has rendered many persons useless because of their inability to know what to do at the right time, I somuch believe that if we know when to say no, gambling addiction will not be a nightmare to gamblers.

Domestic violence is what happens when two parties in a relationship lacks mutual understanding, of which gambling addiction is one phenomenon likely to make a man lack such mutual understanding in his family (i.e after he may have gambled and lost away huge sum he can't afford to lose). Because although generally speaking, gambling is not the only vices likely to cause domestic violence, as it has been proven that other forms of addiction, such as "Alcohol, Cigarette, Cocaine and Tobacco" can also cause domestic violence among parties either within and outside the family. Which is why as we strive to minimize the rate at which people gamble, let's not forget these other vices.

Addicted gamblers always have transgression of anger so with that it is possible that he can have a domestic violent with either his wife, friends and other members in the gambling centers. Mostly when he loss big amount of money in online gambling then he will use that anger to quarrel with any come across him at that moment. And in most cases though not all, addicted gamblers are also in drugs.
And those who are gambling and also taking drugs see themselves fighting unnecessary fights with people unknowingly.

That's true because gambling can make someone change their attitudes and behavior, and also gambling can make them emotional and cause a lot of problems, including domestic violence. I'm sure someone who is married and addicted to gambling will definitely occasionally even have problems with their finances, because with someone who is addicted to gambling, of course when they have money they will only think about gambling, maybe if they think about their family it will only be a small percentage.

It's true what you said, someone who is addicted to gambling will not easily be able to listen to other people, even if the advice is for their own good. That's what I applaud, those who are addicted to gambling and have clearly experienced many losses but they still never give up by gambling, in other words they have a strong ambition to win, but what is clear is that victory cannot be obtained easily. and I think the ambition they have is misplaced, because being strong only leads them to things that don't benefit them.

That's it, all the energy in the player would be directed to gambling. When a person is aggressively chasing on those wins he's expected to slowly expect results. Not making a huge win immediately. Gamblers need to figure out this troubles and learn from others. In most cases a family would be struggling to change their ward. Hence, causing a big argument between the player and his loved ones. Which is not a good idea for anyone.

Those troubles could increase, affecting more the peace of the home negatively. Since the players wouldn't think of quiting the game. Hence gamblers who are having a hard time accepting responsible gambling are indeed going to face multiple troubles in the process. It's better to argue with one's family on a stable state of mind than engaging in the argument after losing a lot in gambling. It will easily swing the mood of such gambler and lead to a more severe misunderstanding.

Of course, families don't want to see their family members in problems such as addiction, because this is a serious problem that can destroy their lives and there is even a possibility that it could end their lives because there are also cases that have occurred with those who committed suicide due to addiction. gamble. When one of the family members is in trouble, of course the other family members will help them as best they can, but in my environment there are some families who really prioritize their egos, where they don't want to help other family members, especially in financial matters. This is very sad, but it can't be hidden from everyone that money issues are very sensitive.

I agree with you of course that if they are addicted then it can have an impact on their family relationships or the peace of their family. where maybe those who are addicted can act rashly towards their family members, because I think when they become addicted to gambling of course they will have a more stubborn attitude, and where when they have run out of money to gamble maybe they can force the money to other family members . The changes that will occur with the perpetrator of this addiction could be worse if they just leave it alone, but there are families who don't dare to reprimand the perpetrator of their addiction because they have a stubborn nature.

There is what we call micro aggression, it stays in our unconscious state of mind and it could be triggered if one experiences any kind of loss and that is one big reason why most addicts or ordinary people that gamble when they loss they tend to transfer aggression on people who are not the cause.

I have witnessed a gambler fight the manager of a local bet shop (not necessarily a casino) as response to his stimulus, I'm always very careful with people who loss not just in gambling but anything in life. Psychologically every human has a micro anger in them but it's ones responsibility to manage and/or control them, if you can do that then no matter your loses you will never go into fight with anyone.

In the issue of can gambling and drug addicts it seems to me that in characteristics of a drug addicts is gambling addiction, it more like the go together or intertwine. You rarely see a drug addict who is not a gambler and you rarely see a gambling addict who is not a drug addict it's just confusing characteristics. Anyways the rules in casinos are against fighting so here in my locals if you fight you got to jail simple but sometimes it doesn't work because the police are biased in their call of duty.

Well, I think it depends on the individuals character, there are gamblers who would miss winning a huge sum of money but won't transfer aggression to their spouse or family also there are others who are too quick to anger and would pick offense at every slightest provocation, no when they lose a huge sum of money they could transfer aggression to their wife and kids and even carry out domestic violence on their spouse most times.

 it depends on an individuals personality, some people could barely control their anger and would always transfer aggression even while they're at fault, it's not like gambling led them to treat people that way, but it's just their personality and they use their lose from gambling as an opportunity to hurt people, also I put it to you that their are still people who barely lose often but are still prone to anger, therefore I think it all depends on the individuals personality.

Perhaps you're correct and I also mentioned it above that it's the ability to control this micro aggression that makes aot of seems responsible to some extent. It's not just an individual thing but it's a scientifically researched result what humans have a mini aggression in them but it from ones childhood that such attributes are put to control by parents.

Perhaps, a lot of people do not know how to handle anger or issues which makes them attack whatever that stands in front of them, be it family, friends etc that is why anger management is a big discussion in every sectors hence it builds and also ruins people's life's. All we have to do is try as much as possible to learn the best of them all on how much control our anger even if there is a trigger to it.

You are absolutely right because aggressive behavior is associated with gambling addiction. This aggressive behavior can sometimes manifest as domestic violence. He does not have to lose big amount of money before being aggressive. One thing that is certain about gambling addict is that each time they want to gamble, until they lose everything at their disposal, they will not be able to stop.

And in most cases though not all, addicted gamblers are also in drugs.
And those who are gambling and also taking drugs see themselves fighting unnecessary fights with people unknowingly.

I can only imagine what the combination of drugs and gambling addiction will do to an individual. There is no way to predict what such person will be able to do especially when he loses his money and needed to take those drugs.

Overall and in common sense I think it is quite reasonable to say that there is a high possibility for an addicted gambler to abuse one of his family members such as his wife or child, but maybe yes this is also quite dependent on the person because it cannot be denied that there may be some addicted gamblers who have a patient personality and can still control their emotions, but yes we cannot rule out another fact that there will always be addicted gamblers who cannot hold their emotions especially when they experience defeat which makes them really feel devastated.

On the other hand, to be honest, lately I also often see couples who divorce and the cause is that one of them is involved in gambling which has entered the addiction phase which as we know that addiction can cause a lot of problems, if you are married then most likely treating gambling in an excessive manner as is done by addicted gamblers will certainly cause problems with finances in your family where most likely you will have difficulty making ends meet which usually situations like this can cause arguments between you and your partner to violence.

A man that is aggressive in nature will always want to hide under anger management. Everyone that gambles get hurt when they lose but the sensible ones doesn't go to an extent to hurt themselves or anyone around them and that's because they see gambling as a luck even if you have the skills to make predictions, everything you do is entirely dependent on the outcome, so when you see a man beat his spouse hidding under anger transgressions need to be arrested.

I don't think a man who bet responsibly is supposed to be angry for losing a bets, if you bets with the amount you know confidently that you can let's go, even if you lose, you wouldn't get angry because I see no reason why a grown up person will be angry over amount that can't get you an expensive meal.

Yes, but not all addicted gamblers have the same anger or overflowing anger that involves everyone in their own gambling mistakes, the gambling he does is clearly his own fault if he involves everyone who meets him and being rude means there is something wrong with him. There is also someone who is addicted to gambling who chooses to remain silent and mourn his fate rather than take it out on anyone for his losses because he cannot return the money he has lost and also cannot change anything so we cannot use the reason for addiction as domestic violence because I think addiction It doesn't cause that if a gambler can accept whatever outcome they get, whether they lose or win.

It is true that addiction can trigger a person to commit violence, but in fact it is his true attitude that is not yet visible, so gambling shows his true nature where he cannot control his emotions and patience so he takes it out on his children and wife at home. If it is like this, of course it will later cause regret for the addict himself. if they realize that their actions were wrong because their children and wife left him due to his addiction and caused violence.

Yes, some kind of women or men that involved in the kind of gambling addition come definitely bring in more themselves because people are mocking them cause violence and areas and theories because of the top people are telling them around gambling is not something that just come along. It comes with different sadness because as long as they are losing, they are not happy they want to recover what they have so, they immediately violent what you said as the most violent, but it is not easy for them because they have lost much of it does not deserve anything against them.
