Others are going through similar things

Shared by a reader of Torn Apart:

I attended a support group for wives when I was a student 3 years ago. It made a huge difference for me, just knowing I wasn't alone and being able to learn from others going through similar things. The counselors helped a lot too. The most important thing I learned was that it wasn't about me. Before then, I would take my husband's setbacks with porn so personally, it helped learning in the group that there wasn't anything I could do better to totally take away his temptations.

This is such a great time to be alive because there is so much more openess, and understanding about the enormously powerful effect of pornography. A friend of mine in her mid fifties struggled so much throughout her marriage because of her husband's problems with pornography, and she said no one seemed to understand, or be able to help them. Now that is such a huge problem, there are so many resources for those who struggle.

Thanks again for all you've done, even though it is such a huge problem in our world, I know one person can make a difference!
