Dear Queenie,
A friend of mine was a sex addict. I knew about it but didn’t say anything to anybody. Eventually he was caught having sex with an underage girl and was sent to prison, but I am certain this just happened once and usually he had sex with adult women.
Maybe if I had told someone he could have been made to get treatment for his problem before he got into so much trouble.
Queenie, how can I apologise to his family and everyone else who knew him and didn’t know about his problem?—Sad friend
Dear Friend,
There is no way you can apologise to your friend or anyone else for not doing anything about his problem before he got into trouble on account of it. That is over and done with, and it is too late to matter what you say now.
Perhaps professional counselling would help you understand how you could have let all this happen, and help you learn to deal with your own problems.
