- Abstract
- The aim of this essay was to examine children's experiences of having a pathological gambler as a parent, which consequences this led to socially, economically and emotionally, if those children got any help and in that case where and what kind of help.
Central questions asked where:
* In what way did the child experience consequences from the parent's gambling?
* How did the child experience the gambling parent during the gambling period?
* In what way did the gambling affect the relationship between the parent and the child?
* How did the parent's gambling affect the child socially, emotionally and economically?
* How did the child handle this?
* What help did the child itself think it required?
* Where did the child got help?

This is a qualitative study of nine today adult persons that grown up with a pathological gambler as a parent. The method is qualitative semi structured interviews.
The results of the study are that all of them experienced large consequences socially, emotionally and economically. The consequences varied depending on the total situation in the family. The result shows that all of them have got coping abilities and they have applied more to emotion-focused forms of coping than to problem-focused coping. (Less)
