He had & probably still has a serious addiction to porn. He went on to sexually abuse me from about age 3 to about 11, threatening to kill my mom if I ever told her. I didn't remember the abuse until I was 18, two years after he left.
He may have abused my brother, 3 years my junior, but he did sodomize my brother that is 11 years younger than me because he remembered it. This 2nd brother, in turn, around age 10 or 11, went on to molest his three younger siblings.
He was caught & admitted to it all when he was 14 & spent the next 18 months locked up in a facility for boys like that. He has had a porn addiction, as well as having premarital sex with two girls.
He is trying hard, with God's help to overcome & change, but this will take a will of iron & many years of healing. The other brother I mentioned has been addicted to porn since his teen years, when he found the old man's stash. I have been able to find healing & hope through my relationship with Jesus Christ, & I praise Him for that.
However, our father vehemently denies that he ever touched us, & we have no contact with him. Every member in my family has been viciously & deeply hurt by this, from my mom down to my youngest sibling. All of them are recovering & doing well, but you never get totally over it.
My husband of 8 years had a porn addiction prior to our marriage, thanks to his mom bringing it into the home when he was 9. God has been good, as he only had one relapse after we married & my husband is honest about his struggles with temptation, & there are certain safeguards we maintain to help him overcome the temptations that would lead him back down that road.
He & I have determined that the evil that has been passing down the generations STOPS with us. We so carefully guard what our young son & daughter see. I go through all mail (catalogs, mailers, magazines, etc) before either my husband or kids can get a hold of them so that they will not accidentally stumble upon it.
We must take a stand! We must contact even local stores like Victoria's Secret that display pornography in public places, forcing our husbands & children to see this crap! Thanks for this site. Always remember, with Jesus, our wounds & hearts can be healed.

Your attitude is great! It STOPS WITH US! That is how I feel too. I experienced similar things, abused by my father, who now denies touching me (and my sister), my brother learning to molest my sister, and he denies any wrongdoing as well. It has to STOP! That is my vow, that I will not allow the pornography and abuse to continue with my kids!
