Mental Health Experts Answer Your Questions
Member's Question
I have been battling through my husband’s addiction for over 5 years now with no relief. It feels like the only thing he is getting better about is his ways he hides his addiction! He is emotionally and verbally abusive to myself and my son (his step-son).
My questions are as follows:
Are there some people out there that are just too damaged to find recovery? And, if he finds recovery, will the emotional and verbal abuse continue or is it a part of the sex addiction?
He has claimed that at one point in our marriage he was sober for over 5 months. During the time he claimed to be sober, his abusive behaviors were the worst they've ever been. Is it possible that his sex addiction is what is soothing his abusive behaviors and keeping them somewhat contained?
He just seems like such an angry person that hates the world. Please tell me if this will change and if it is a normal part of the addict mindset.
