New here - my story
Notifications OFF
So I find myself here, in the place I never even knew existed, let alone thought I'd end up.
I met my husband aged 17. We have 2 children together and have been together almost 18 years. 1 or 2 years ago he went through a really bad patch (little did I know just how bad), and 2 weeks ago we got the knock. I am so thankful that our kids were not home when it happened. It was so incredibly surreal. It still feels like some sort of bad dream. I honestly had no clue, none at all.
He has told me that some health problems which forced a career change lead him down the path of porn addiction, and he ended up on Kik and has been arrested on suspicion of possession and (one) distribution.
I believe him when he says he didn't search for it or ask for it, but I am struggling so badly to even correlate this with the man I thought I knew for the last 18 years.
I have confided in 2 very close people, purely because I just can't cope with this alone. He is currently living with his parents and is not allowed any contact at all with the kids at least until bail review. The kids are 14 and 9, they are confused and upset, it is so sad.
There is more to my story, but I don't want to go on and on just now, just wanted to get my first post on here and vent a little.
I wish I wasn't here, but I have read lots on the forum over the last 2 weeks to give me some kind of sense of what may be to come :(
