He “caused” our problems and yet once again the focus and
everyone’s attention is on him. The family income is being used
by him again for his benefit, on top of the spend he has already
enjoyed on his addiction. It’s just not fair. I am left here with
his stuff and don’t know where to go or turn for help for me.
That just is not right and is not fair. I feel so.....

This is an understandable reframe don’t you think? But there is
help for partners of sex addicts.
