Not sure if this is the right topi for this group, but my actions have sent me into an emotional tail spin of depression. I have a sex addiction that recently caused me to get arrested. This made my wife of 20 years file for divorce, put a temp restraining order on me, and force only supervised visitation of my kids (please keep in mind I have never done anything physical against my wife or kids). My addiction was for prostitutes and other women. Now my wife is pushing away and asking our friends to help her out with our house and the kids, this just pushes me further into my depression. I have tried to give her space, but with the kids it is hard. Today she called me to walk her through some things on the house. When we couldn't do over the phone i told her I could come to the house and walk her through it. She instead called my best friend to come over to help.

This mad me mad and hurt, I lashed out a bit at her only to have to apologize for my actions. She only talks to me on her terms and it is usally about the divorce, finances, or the kids. I don't know how to win her back and I don't know how to pull myself back up. I am seeing a therapist, psychitrist, and SA group meetings. But I can't get what I have done to her and the kids out of my head, I would do anything to go back and start over. It has been 6 weeks since this all happened, 6 weeks since I had to detox off prescription meds (which were keeping me from feeling anything), and my emotons are all over the place. I am trying to focus on changing, but it is so hard to stay focused with everything going on. i am not sure how to move forward or to get my family back. Any help please!
