I can't do that and never will be able to. That's the insanity of my disease as well: that somehow I could protect someone from themselves. I can't do that and never will be able to.

I forcibly repressed that one! This was the second scariest thing; a place I could more safely (from a distance) explore the idea of what it would mean for them. c, the kids losing me was way too scary to even attempt to go there.

We humans are funny creatures. I know somoene who had a cancer scare and thought, "If I have cancer I'll be able to quit my job" and while she didn't have cancer she DID quit the job because if that ain't a wake-up call, what is? These little whispers that show what we're thinking when we didn't even know are amazing and I thank you for sharing yours as it helps me think of some of my own. Like you, I carry no illusions about any relationship (to self or others) being without work and inquiry and acceptance, but I can EASILY drift into fear and draw conclusions about the sex addiction being or meaning this or that when really I don't know what the impact on our family will be when I look back in twenty years. I don't know that it's not the best thing that could have happened to wake us up or to become more aware or whatever. I can only see from this limited view at this particular time. Anyhow, great to read your blog as usual. c What an honest post and that idea that you are the glue that keeps the addiction from spiraling out of control, his addiction being the villian and no other issues like the poor kids losing their mother...
