Setting boundaries in recovery:
TrudyFebruary 21, 2018
I have been married for 48 years to a man addicted to pornography. Back in the day there was no support. If anything, as the spouse, I was blamed and shamed. I am so thankful for the help that has been springing up in the last decade. It took a crisis to wake my husband up and he has been doing great work in recovery. I love the concept of surrender and boundaries. I never thought it was wise to dwell on the "why's".
