We hurt our children, too!

Your eyes are incredible to me, even if you have moved yourself to a place where I can’t reach you – I don’t know.

Children can’t help but notice the emotional alienation of their caregivers. They wonder why mom and dad always look far away, why they aren’t as fun and available as they used to be, and why they don’t always hug them like they used to be. Sadly, children who experience this experience may internalize the responsibility of this gap. Even though they are young, they know there are some problems and mistakenly think it is their fault. After all, parents are perfect for young children, so if something goes wrong, they think it must be their fault. Over time, they began to feel less important and less special, and the wanted criminals made a lot of serious amounts of their self-esteem. So rationalizing that “even if I feel fear of my spouse, I will never affect the child” is smoke and mirror. As sex and porn addicts, we don’t like to think about this, but it’s the truth. When we actively participate in addiction, we hurt our children.
