dealing with spouse who views pornography around my 3 1/2 year old. I do not know what the legal repercussions are for this. We are currently seperated and living toghether still my spouse and I, but I am discovering he has been hiding his pornography use from me for 9 years and now that things are over with us he is hiding it less and viewing this while he is watching our daughter. Has anyone had to deal with this if so i would love experiences and moral support. Thank you.
i would contact an attorney and discuss the options. I would tell him afterwards that it needs to stop and tell him what the attorney told you. I dont know what the laws are but im sure theres some kind of law against subjecting a child to that. They are very impressionable at that age and dont need that
Bad bad bad situation....get the H away from this guy!!! Either change the locks and call a lawyer or move in w/ someone for a while until the courts take action. I would imagine that it would be quick process as there is a child involved!
I sorry you're going through this, but for you child's sake - GET OUT!
I am a therapist who works with young children. I can tell you that exposure to pornography for young children can have the same impact on them as if they had been abused. It can lead to significant acting out bevahior because young children cannot understand what they are seeing, and often act out as a result. There is substantial evidence that exposure to trauma can change the way brains develop. In short I would urge you to speak to an attorney, and remove your child from the situation. Your daughter is lucky to have a parent (you)that can protect her!

If you think he is doing this...by computer I am guessing. Take the computer out of your home. Under any circumstances tell him it is not allowed in your home. I would make sure that thing could not turn on! If he wants to view this sort of stuff, tell him to go out. You seem to be the only one that can protect your little one from this stuff. So do what you need to do to make sure its not in your home for her to see.

You need to move out with your child, or kick him out. And he should not have unsupervised visits with the child (or any child). Get a lawyer.
