There are lots of things a dad can do to screw up a family. I’d say there are more absent, abusive, or unsupportive fathers than there are gambling addicted fathers.
People have faults and people fail at things. They make bad decisions throughout their lives.
I agree with most of what you said, but I’m not sure gambling addiction is at the top of the list. I personally don’t think I’d have a problem owning a liquor store. I’d just have to keep myself out of it.
If anything really bothers me about gambling promotion in general, it’s the way state run lotteries advertise. They’re ruthless IMO, and have worse odds of winning than any game in any casino. And besides a chance at winning, they offer almost no entertainment value.
