He won’t admit he has a problem, but it has driven away all his girlfriends.

No issue is too small, too large or too embarrassing. Read our personal replies here.
I’m his 56-year-old mum, and at the end of my tether. He is 29 and has a three-year-old girl with his ex.
Since his teens, he has had an addiction to nasty porn, depicting acts I can’t put down in words.
Whenever his girlfriends find out, he begs forgiveness and says he will never watch it again. But he can’t help himself and they leave.
Now the mother of his child has kicked him out and won’t have anything to do with us.

She has even blocked me on social media so I can’t see pictures of my granddaughter.
How can I help him and get my granddaughter back?
