GAME – Pathological gambling addiction – MYTHS AND LEGENDS I. They differ LUDÓPATAS THE REST OF ITS ABILITY TO GREAT MINDS

I will start the newly released section of myths and legends with the most important of these, that ludópatas or pathological players are great players and great liars. This legend is based on her belief that ludópatas (plus I like the term ludófilos, or ludofans, but in order … all that is in the street ..) are responsible for sinking the lives of those people who surround and destroy their economies. This legend, like all, has its share of truth, and their big part of invention, of epic and myth. I wonder how it is possible to maintain lies and deceptions, over years, not that interested parties do not cooperate and make every effort to think what they are told, for their own benefit.

We all know the thymus of estampita, and as is very little people that complaint. The thymus is that the person is interested timada believe in what the trickster told him, as it would draw a great benefit to be some reality proposal.

Well, this is the same. In most cases I have seen throughout these fifteen years, the “timada” is a woman, wife and mother. Normally it has never dealt with the economy, nor of her, or that of her home, and has absolute confidence in the management of her husband. This implies that she never has overseen accounts, expenses or debts, and has always delegated to her husband this oversight.

So we have a woman with all the rights of the twenty-first century, but behave as if they lived in a pre-Spain. I know of in fifteen years, no case that would work in reverse, ie, where the husband does not address the economy, and she was responsible. If I hear a hundred times “if this was the other way around, and I would have left, is that I want both ….”.

In short, is no myth because it is a quality of ludófilo, does not have extraordinary capabilities that differentiate it from the rest of the population, are anything special about that. And lying, as we know, is a quality that sets us apart from the dogs, and of which fortunately have. A child learns to lie and deceive from two years earlier. If it were not capable of doing, we should think about a possible mental retardation.

Without question the responsibility that has been taken into what happened, and the deterioration of the economy, there is a risk of committing the same mistakes.

Perhaps I have not seen in recent years cases of the style that counted before because surely it is true that when it is the woman ludófila and has destroyed the economy by playing family (husband of course also has a great responsibility in this regard) is fulminating “cesada” from his position as wife, and I fear that even the mother. Will this matter one more facet of machismo? Will all this have to do with gender violence?, In the end, in a web of a renowned psychiatrist who founded an association for the treatment of pathological gambling, recommending Women’s ludófilo who was trying to overcome their “subsidiaries” which would have sex with her husband but not you fancy, and understand that if her husband was irritable and angry, was due to his illness.

I better not, I’m liando, I was running around the head, and if I keep thinking about why things finish saying more inconvenience. Everything would be easier to accept the myth. Precisely for this reason, I believe it is myth and legend.
