As a psychotherapist and professional that specializes in the field of sex addiction, I often get asked,"what do we tell our children?"For the partner that has been violated and betrayed, and difficult as it is to maintain a level of functioning with daily duties, the thought of explaining to your children that daddy has an intimacy disorder/sex addiction, does not go over well.
And yet, children, no matter how old are impacted by the parents trauma, because of how invasive and perpetrating the betrayal feels. Parents find their level of tolerance difficult to manage, between meetings, individual and couple therapy,as well as intensive treatment outside the home. Needless to say, most of this is, as well as managing the extra time all this entails,a major transition for the entire family.
Here are some readings that may help take some pressure off you. You may need the resources to help you through the difficult journey.
