re

In the end Gollum was so much controlled by the Ring that he couldn't decide anything himself. think about it, he had had the ring for many lives of his race... i guess that was also the case for the Nazgul, and they were only shadows later on. but they had lesser rings. imagine how fast you would get subdued by such a powerful ring. i think that's why he didn't "throw himself away "... because his desire for the ring was too big. and he didn't control his family because maybe he didn't know what he could do with it by that time.
