Father's inappropriate content addiction

[Elizabeth163]

I found out my Christian father has a inappropriate content addicton and I feel very concerned about it. I know the right thing is to tell it to my mother, but I'm embarassed to do it because my mother doesn't discuss with me about intimate relations almost none. I activated a filter which blocks these sites on his phone but I feel it's not enough, I don't have to keep it secret from mom.
How should I speak with her about it?
Please, pray for my family!

I don't think that you should expose what you think your father is doing to your mother.

Perhaps you can have a discussion about it with your father ... (i.e. just the fact that you know/suspect).

Or ... perhaps you can speak to a minister ... and seek counseling as to what, if anything, you should do.

How do you know he has an addiction if you never spoke to him about it? How where you able to gain access to his phone? something doesnt sound right here.

You might be even more embarassed if you find out your suspicions were not totally true after you said something. Be very cautious, pray about it, and wait.

Good advice so far, realizing that we only have a few lines in the story that probably has pages of information. What came to mind in reading the thread is that it's one thing to discuss the facts (this is what I saw, come and see for yourself) and it's another thing to discuss speculations that might have a different conclusion than the one you came to. Again, the voices out here only have a few details to go on, but hopefully it will be helpful in your concern.

Hmm yeah I agree not knowing 100% could really backfire.. I think having someone to talk to.. might help better. Like the world.. Christ said I didn't come to condemn the world but to save it. They already feel guilty bad awful.. they need someone to reach down help them out. What might since I don't know effect your father.. effects most young people today more then ever.

I don't know what you believe... but to help.. I will pray He the lord of lords king of kings to give you wisdom.. You will know its from GOD.. you will have great peace.

I helped him to post something on his phone, that's how I discovered it

There you have it....you have seen inappropriate content.......does this mean you are now an Addict? I think not.... Looking at a picture doesnt mean you are addicted to looking at those pictures.

I think you are reading too much into it.

I must admit I looked in his history because I wanted to know if he's an addict and he watches it every day

Ultimately, this is an issue he will have to work out between God and himself.

To bring your mother into it would only hurt her, cause conflict, and not necessarily solve the problem.

Pray about it, and let God work it out.

Welcome to CF. I have to be honest, this is the first time I have come across a daughter who caught their Father viewing inappropriate contentography. It is usually the wife. That being said, your mother already knows so I suggest to not interfere.
