Welcome to Betrayal Trauma Recovery, BTR.org. I'm Anne. I'm sure you remember what it was like when you were searching for help, maybe for your husband, hoping to find the right program or therapist. That's why I started podcasting. I supported my husband through seven years of pornography addiction recovery and not one therapist during that time told me I was experiencing emotional

and psychological abuse and sexual coercion. I didn't want any other woman on the planet to be in

invisible and difficult to wrap your head around. Your husband is using porn or having

affairs or lying to you, and you're getting the same bad advice about how to improve communication

or your relationship. If you need support from women who totally understand, check out our daily

group session schedule at BTR.org slash group. We'd love to see you in a session today. One simple, anonymous way to help spread the word

is to click, follow, or subscribe to the Betrayal Trauma Recovery podcast on your favorite

podcasting app. While you're there, every five-star rating helps make this podcast more visible

and will help save other women from getting the wrong kind of help, like a couple

program that will make this type of abuse worse.

For those of you who follow or subscribe to this podcast, thank you so much.

Your support means so much to me.

I have a member of our community on today's episode.

I'm going to call her Noreen.

She's a victim of betrayal and emotional and psychological

abuse and financial abuse. Her ex-husband was a former police officer and served a sentence

in federal prison after a child sex abuse material conviction. Sometimes people call that

child pornography, but we know it's just child sexual abuse material.

Her ex has been staunchly denied knowing anything about the child sex abuse material on his computer

and insisted that she was responsible for quote unquote planting it there. Welcome, Noreen.

Thank you so much. Glad to be here. As women are trying to figure out what is going on,
