Sexual Assault Nobody knows and i'm 41

[Wife doesn't know]

When I was 6 years old I was molested by my uncle that was 15 it so. This happened multiple times. He would not let me watch dukes if Hazzard if I didn't do what he told me. I am now 41 years old and feel that this abuse is the core if my addiction issues with cocaine, alcohol and going to strip clubs. I am married and my wife if 8 years doesn't even know that I was molested as a child. She doesn't even know that I have been spending thousands of dollars at the strip club. I feel that I am at a point where I need help. I think I need to see a psychiatrist. All these years and I thought I had a handle on it. I guess I don't.

Do you have PTSD? The first step is realizing you have a problem. Yes get in and see someone ASAP. As hard as it is you need to talk to your wife. She could be a great support for you.

Welcome.
Ditto to the therapist advice.
Getting help is important.
Reaching out takes courage and bravery.
Thanks for having the courage to come on here and talk about it.
