Out in the Light

My family has been devastated by pornography.  Twenty-six years ago I was divorced because of pornography.  My first husband's life was horrible growing up.  It reads like something out of a horror movie and I'm sure it felt like it was to him, his brother, and his sisters.  The scars of this devastated his soul and he turned to pornography to medicate himself.  This past month has been turned upside down because of his pornography use over many years and the damage it has caused him.  He's had to move in with my son and his wife.  The courage and strength they are showing in taking care of him now is of great magnitude.  So many I've spoken to over the years have thought it is no big deal.  I'm here to say it is and there is a growing sickness of it spreading even to our youngest. Its even thrown in our faces at times when we think we are safe.  I can't how many times I've seen Victoria Secret's Angels being shown in a commercial during what used to be called "family hour" on television.

Anyway, I found this website earlier tonight and it is so full of information for those who are struggling with pornography themselves or for their loved ones and families who are struggling with the ripple effect it is causing in their own lives.  I have put their button on my page.  It is a good resource.  www.outinthelight.com
