Gambling vs the human/empathy

Someone I know is losing everything due to their gambling

They have taken advantage of their vulnerable spouse too leaving them with rent unpaid and barely any food

Other than this horrible addiction. They seem to be a good person. They usually cater to their spouse.

This person has major major childhood trauma that they have not dealt with.I believe their voice was taken away as a child and they do not know how to function properly in society.

I just find it so sad all around. The spouse cannot be taken advantage of either.And it just sucks so much and a good person can lose everything over some stupid gambling addiction.

There are bad people out there who do deserve to lose things , but this is just such unique combination.

What suggestions would you have for these people?
