What I hadn’t expected was how quickly he became a much better person after he quit looking at porn. It did not last - he returned to his habit as soon as the pornography-blocking software went down.

Privacy laws block me from naming this man. I can only say I knew he become a self-centered jerk before I knew he used pornography, and I noticed a profound improvement before I found out he’d quit. Because he “did not have a problem,” he returned to pornography as soon as he could. And he changed again.

Wendy couldn’t watch television – the noise disturbed the baby. She couldn’t read – the light woke Cali up. All Wendy could do was daydream in the dark.  “She still doesn’t sleep,” she said about Cali.
