Did anyone else watch this? It was really good by the way and scarry. The addict appears to be very forthcoming with coughing up the dirt. But what it made me realize in that he was very forthcoming with all the info, how much info from my SA I am not being told.
A few things really hit home, how he ignored the daughter and would go masturbate in the bathroom and ignored the daughter. I think this was the case with my SA, although he will not admit. I had caught him viewing porn in the care of our daughter, and then put her in daycare after finding this out. I have saved her now, but what happened in the past? I think stuff very similar to what this guy is saying. I don;t know how many times I came home and he barely fed her, dressed her, or cleaned up anything in the house. My gut says it was porn and masturbation all day.
I was also interested in how much he layed it upon the spouse to protect the daughter. Yet again guys we are the ones who have to protect, they are not capable nor have the sense to make the best decision for the kids. They will say they will not hurt the kids, but they can not be trusted, and they don’t trust themselves.
But it was very easy to see how this progressed, he did not have any trauma in childhood that he spoke of…it was just his way of releiving anxiety, which I think is what my SA used it for. He also started masturbating at a young age like him….scares me to think that he has probably progressed much like this guy. But he does not tell.
All of these things further my thoughts that the safest place for me and my daughter is away from him. And it has been a year, he continues to lie, and I see no choice.

I didnt see the show I wish I had. Maybe I can see it through the internet some how. Today, Im leaning towards the ” this is hopeless camp”. My husband did another disappearing act that was suspect….was what he told me the truth or a lie I guess Ill never know. But what I do know is this life really sucks….goes along pretty smoothly then mysteries start to occur. Is he a Hudini and I just dont know it or is he SA who cant/wont stop-doesnt really matter the outcome is still the same. I told him Im totally confused and when he thinks he can talk (hes angry right now) I need clarity, understanding, and truth about his addiction and sobriety. I think this is the third time well be having this conversation. Like Pam, I feel right now that this is a neverending story…and its not a very good one.:(March 3, 2011 at 7:56 pm #10745ms-lindyParticipantI wasn’t able to catch it either, so if anyone finds a site where it can be watched on the internet, please let me know too!
