Gambling addiction: Gambling addiction can surely interfere with family commitments & cause stress (not just financial). Addicted people pursue/indulge in the chosen substance or behavior despite negative effects on other parts of life. This includes ignoring responsibilities to work, family, etc. It destroys relationships & deprives your kids too. More info: http://www.Helpguide.Org/mental/gambling_addiction.Php.
