I have recently quit drinking and have gone to AA meeting's quite a bit and I meet with my sponser. I have left my husband last January mostly due to his addiction which is to pornagrapy. Well, while we were seperated I found out that he slept with someone and had unprotected sex while drinking.
Why I am writing this is because I have issues about his son, my step son drawng those naked pictures etc. I also had a really long conversation with him. It made a lot of sense. I am not really upset that he slept with someone. I just feel bad for him because he is doing it to himself. He than told me he wanted to work thing's out since we talked so good. I only want to get along right now because of our daughter we have together.
Bu, I have a daughter with him. Another thing that haunts me is that I also had severe ADD undiagnosed during our marriage. I also drank like a fish. But, the one thing that I have to be honest about and also because I did cheat on him too. So I did the same thing to him. I didn't tell him though. Because, I want him to go to get help, if I tell my husband now than he wouldn't seek help or treatment because I know him very well. He has started to go to sex addicts anonymous. It's not a group for like pedophiles. It's just people addicted to porn and having sex. I can't really explain it.
Something just tells me to stick it through. Because, even though I may not want to get back with him. I have forgiven him. I know and I can see and feel how sorry he is and how dumb he was. But, I will not be around him by myself nor go to my house with him there. I won't be around him unless it's in a public place. I have started to talk to a social worker about my step sons issues. He was concern but told me to talk to my husband. I did. I gave him two weeks to put his son in therapy and than for Nick to attend SA. He said he will comply. Unless he does, and if he doesn't I will report him and my step son's biological mother. My step son is a very disturbed kid. I wanted him in therapy. But, I couldn't do anything because I have no legal right's to him.
I guess my question is should I stick this threw? I am starting to get my life back for the first time. I am going to AA and I am in therapy. Thing's are stressful but I actually am starting to feel happy again. I am not on anti depreesants because I am going to get treated for Adult ADD. I know I have made mistakes in the past but so has he. I am not running back to him. Because, I can't and I won't. I have to much at stake to loose my two kids. If I don't act like a mother to them than I would be afraid to loose them. I don't think I ever would. But loose as more me saying that I don't want my kids to develop a negative self image. I want them to be proud of there mom and admire me for what I have gone throuhg.
That's another reason why I told my ex ) would be willing to try therapy and marraige counseling. But, if I don't see him changing I wont talk to him anymore. I will push for full custody because I have enough against him to get full custody. I also went through my first marriage the same way. My 1st husband drank so did I. But, that's over he's gone.
But, should I seek therapy. I just more want to do it so that I can see that he is trying to help himself. He did go to treatment for a month. I also saw that he has been going to therapy once a week for the last 6 months. But, it's not enough for me to get back together with him. Maybe a year from now if he is changed than maybe. But, I am moving out on my on in a month or two. I won't live in our old house and I won't let him come over.
