My son’s porn addiction has cost me my relationship with my granddaughter

DEAR DEIDRE: MY son’s porn addiction has cost me my relationship with my granddaughter. I’m heartbroken.

He won’t admit he has a problem, but it has driven away all his girlfriends.

She has even blocked me on social media so I can’t see pictures of my granddaughter

No issue is too small, too large or too embarrassing. Read our personal replies here.

I’m his 56-year-old mum, and at the end of my tether. He is 29 and has a three-year-old girl with his ex.

Since his teens, he has had an addiction to nasty porn, depicting acts I can’t put down in words.

Whenever his girlfriends find out, he begs forgiveness and says he will never watch it again. But he can’t help himself and they leave.

Now the mother of his child has kicked him out and won’t have anything to do with us.

How can I help him and get my granddaughter back?


DEIDRE SAYS: Your son needs to admit that he has a problem.

Talk to him again and show him my support pack, Internet Pornography Worry.

Tell his ex you don’t approve of his habit and are trying to help.

Appeal to her as a mother and explain how much you love your granddaughter.

For support, contact the Grandparents Apart Self-Help Group, (grandparentsapart.co.uk, 0141 882 5658).
