Jen,
Your comment is timely. I have been observing this lack of specific support for moms of those who struggle with addiction. I know there is a group called Mothers of the Sons of Helaman. I also know that there are motjhers who participate in phone support meetings run by Healing through Christ. I have had conversations with professionals in the healing realm about this need and there may be some things coming, but it is all in process right now. Please feel free to email me at mormonwomen at gmail if you would like more specific information.

God bless you in this struggle. I know for a fact that there are hundreds of people working tirelessly on this issue but I realize that mommas still have a unique need. My heart goes out to you.

I am another LDS mother of a son who has been struggling for the last ten years (since he was also 11) with a pornography and masturbation addiction. I have searched for support as a mother and find it somewhat lacking. I’m actually a 12-step support group leader, but our group consists of spouses and only rarely does a mother walk in. I feel isolated even though I’m trying to reach out. I appreciate your article so much! Do you know of any other resources for mothers? I know much of the church’s material applies, but I yearn for something that specifically addresses my grief and frustration as a mother.

I like that you had a Mother write about this in her perspective. It is such a hard issue. Almost all children at sometime will see something they shouldn’t and in today’s world the stats are high on that. As parents you have to always be on watch.
Blessings!
