Question by Ed L: Caught my Dad watching porn. What to do?
So I walked downstairs into my basement and found my Dad watching porn. I know he knows I saw him because he acted really awkward when I asked him the question I went downstairs to see him for. It has been really awkward for me too. I haven’t been able to take my mind off of it because I know he is addicted. It hurts. Things have been really awkward between me and him too. We used to be close but now I keep my distance. I have yet to look my father in the eye since this has happened. What should I do? Should I ignore it and maybe time will heal? I am too ashamed to talk to him about it…and don’t have enough guts to do it. Its really hard to talk to a parent about those kinds of things. I know if I do, he would just make up some kind of story or lie to cover it up…and it would just make me feel worse. And yes, I have watched porn a few times when I was younger but never made a habit of it so don’t flame me for asking a question like this……
OK..I am sorry I didn’t make this clear. This is the first time I caught him in the act. I have found many MANY traces on the computer….like internet history and even windows of porn he minimized but forgot to exit out of. Heck…the computer has crashed 2 times now from all the trojans on it and there is not much i can do about that. Its only a year old. An i AM old enough to understand an addiction. I am 19. I am around it all day whether it is friends who chew tobacco or smoke. Soo…yeah i have found porn on the computer and i know it has been going on for a while….this is just the first time i have caught him watching…sorry i didnt make that clear.

Your dad is your dad but still his own person, a man and has desires/needs. It is difficult for all of us to think of our parents has having sex or anything sexual about them but the truth is that they are people with normal desires just like us and we should cut them some slack. As awkward as it is, dont take it as a personal disrespect or offense – it has nothing to do with you as his son, him as your dad or the bond between you.

good luck 🙂
