Hello everyone. My name is Aaron and through my SLAA 12 Step Work as well as intense therapy I have come to understand that I am a survivor of covert incest. This realization has been incredibly painful for me and I have been struggling a lot with the feelings of anger, shame and resentment towards my mother for her actions and my father for his abandonment. My situation is complicated by the fact that my mother lives in our in-law apartment and is dying from end stage emphysema. My sex and love addiction has left my marriage on rocky ground, my wife hates my mother for abusing me, but doesn't yet see that she is doing similar things to our 5 year old son because I have not been emotionally available to her as a husband. Our house is a constant passive aggressive battle ground and I find myself being the only one right now committed to therapy and recovery and my fellowship/therapy providing the only support that understands my inner feelings. Looking through this site has provided me hope and given me strength as I have read the support that exists here from and for everyone. Thank you all for being here, sharing your stories and welcoming new folks like myself to become part of your community.
