He'd had dozens of affairs and worse... His behavior was destructive, persistent and escalating. She felt trapped, alone, afraid and more... But now... after education and support, she realized she was not alone. Her desire to help others who are currently in or suffering the devastating effects of loving a sex addict inspired her to write this book. Let her experience help you! Emma sought to educate herself about sex addiction. She learned that its potential for devastation is at least as strong as that of other, more familiar addictions, such as drug, gambling or alcohol addiction. These addicts are attempting to manage feelings of anger, loneliness and emptiness. Those who are in a relationship with such an addict will find them to be selfish, needy and preoccupied.
