If issues from the past haunt you, even subconciously, they will hold you back emotionally, psychologially and socially. I was sexually mistreated as a child from the second grade until I was 13 y/o. I never told a living sole. Later, when my oldest child was near the same age that I was when the sexual mistreatment had started with me, I began acting out sexually, not realizing that it was at all related to the fact the my past was coming back to get me because I'd never dealt with it. I was subconciously afraid that my son would have the same experience and also I had tons of guilt and still blamed myself and carried a ton of shame for my past, which I had no control over. I ended up being diagnosed as a sex addict, it cost me my (14 year) marriage, I spent a year in therapy and 9 days on the emotional health unit at the hospital. It's been excutiating but I've began to deal with it. I'm an RN so being admitted to the "Psych Ward" was a scary thought for me. I actually feared that I'd loose my nursing license but let me tell you, it's been the best thing that I could've ever done. I did it for me. I did it for my children. You also need to seek help. Work thru all that old stuff so you can be the best father to those beautiful children that you can be. You are obviously sincere about getting help or you wouldn't have posted your question on here. Just take that step. You wont regret it. TRUST ME. [ lvr's advice column | Ask lvr A Question ]
