But in general, PC is a safe and supportive place. You will find help and encouragement there. I did. You will also make some true friends.

By the way, did you see the documentary, Talhotblond? It has also just been made into a movie on Lifetime. It is about the very subject on which you have posted. Someone was murdered, and many people scarred permanently because of identity fraud online. The only place I could find the documentary right now is on Amazon.com. The Lifetime movie may be viewable online soon. The movie, particularly, shows how addictive such behavior can be....and the consequences.

I must add, your wife sounds like a pretty great woman!

Thanks Patty. My wife is indeed amazing.

I will have to look for that video. I was never a stalker and never attempted to meet anyone in person. I was just seeking intimacy I wasn't finding in real life. I want that but I am just not good at living life properly. Since I started some counseling things have been better. I am still going through withdrawals from this addiction and am having a really hard time staying away from creating another profile. But my wife made it clear this last time was the last time or she is done with me. I'm glad because I need to be scared of losing her to keep me going in the right direction. I just wish I didn't have this stupid illness that messes with my mind and makes it easy for me to do stupid things that hurt people I love. Not a good way to live life.
