Thank you thank you thank you!!! I’ve just thrown my porn addict serial cheater husband out after finding pictures, texts, and literally thousands of screenshots of porn sites, some of which made my skin crawl. He’s doing the poor me, I’m an addict, I’m depressed and I need help dance. He’s also unemployed, has no car and was just diagnosed with kidney cancer.
He cheated 3 months after we got married, and at least 3 more times that I know of including while my father was in the ICU fighting for his life.
This site has become my sanity break. When I feel myself slipping into stupidity and starting to analyze his fucked upped Ness (did I mention I’m a psych nurse?), I come here, slap myself in the face with some reality, and refocus on taking care of myself and my autistic son.
Thank you Chump Lady
Hi all. Just doing a short essay for taught component of my Masters in Geography on LGBTIQ participants on Chump Lady. Can anyone help me quickly locate any letters from individuals whose sexual orientation is other than hetero? I have cited “Christopher’s” May 2016 letter, thank you so much Christopher – I hope you are doing well, but would love to hear from any lesbian or other sexual identities anyone can recall? Southern Shine has been suggested, anyone recall when, or can point me to her letter/comments? Many, many thanks in advance!
