I've been told by a friend, that he has frankly admitted he is sexually attracted to young children and as been for decades -

I feel so used, empty and worthless , I met him when I was just 18 so he was my first and only. I dedicated my life and soul to him and it never seemed enough - I will never ever trust anyone again and feel I am tainted.

Has anyone else's oh admitted this?

It's obviously a huge thing to admit (not to me so I can't ask him)

I do wonder if this will also impact his court case (if they even become aware of this? Does it even matter 'why' he had the images).

ARGH! The gift that keeps giving

Hi !

I'm sorry to hear your experience. It's horrendous as all here. Picking theses things is not good and cause so much trauma for us!

I'm having teraphy since the knock to try to understand this sort of addiction. I do because I have two children with my ex and I need to understand the triggers for the sake of my childrens safety.

I learnt that they will never admit if they like children. It's a big step to him to work on the issue. My ex saw pictures and he still denied that he likes kids. It's very sad, specially when they have kids themselves like my case.

I don't know about the court and ve honest as he is waiting to be sentence.

I hope you can find some closure on the fact that now you know he likes kids and can move forward and heal. ...well...I don't know ....if my EX admitted it would be easier to meet to comprehend the whole mess!

Please take of yourself ...you deserve a healthy person!

Littlerobin I certainly going through some of the same feelings, I blamed myself for not been physically available especially after the birth of our son and my changing body. (didn't help his 1st reaction to this was to blame our dwindling physical relationship).

I also don't believe he was addicted to porn as said he had these feeling pre-teen that he never grew out of.

I wonder how much real help offenders get after charges to delve deeper into their reasons as I worry he will reoffend without dealing with his 'preferences'.

Im civil with him but all trust is gone and he has shown no intention of trying to rebuild any sort of relationship, continues to try manipulate me at every turn and even told people I'm keeping his son away from him despite me practically begging for contact with a 3rd party so he doesn't even have to see me,

I selfishly want closure but I probably would never be happy or trust the answers

My husband blamed my lack of interest too. I knew he was looking at porn - why would I want to make love to someone who I'm pretty sure wasn't thinking of me whilst we were doing it.

*crushed - no he hasn't been abused. He said he just found young girls attractive since he was a preteen and it didn't change as he grew older.
