You need to add much more info on your website for women who abuse themselves on the Internet.

I am recently divorced, and my son is now without his mother because she became addicted to the Internet and degraded herself daily by talking to men online all day every day for over one year. It is not only men that have this problem.

GYE Responds:

Dear E.F.,

Yes, we know that women have this problem, as well.

You should know that men and women are totally separated on our site. Only members, who we verify as females, can see the female sections of the forums and chat-rooms. That is why you don't see it.

About 1 out of 4 of our members are women. We have many resources for them as well, see this page: https://guardyoureyes.com/resources/women Perhaps, your wife could be helped (if she is willing) by being directed to this link.

And don't forget, too, that you and your son need and deserve help and support. On our site, we offer resources for spouses. You may also look up live support groups, like S-Anon or CoDA.

We are compiling a list of professionals that have a proven record helping GYE members. If you were helped by a professional therapist please tell us about it and send us the therapist's contact information so we can share the information with others.

Please send details and how you were helped to: help@gye.org.il

Rabbi Shafier from theshmuz.com began an initiative with Guard Your Eyes to put the full 13 part Fight Series called The Fight onto CDs in MP3 format.

Guard Your Eyes and The Shmuz have collaborated to print thousands of copies of the CD's and our objective is to distribute it wisely for free. In the past, we've put cds in various places such as shuls, pizza stores, grocery stores where people can take them. We would like to do the same with this cd.

If you have a little bit of time and would like to help, please contact Rabbi Shafier at rebbe@theshmuz.com or Mrs. Coleman at dassy@theshmuz.com and we'll gladly send you out the cds with a holder and then you can put it wherever you feel is appropriate. This is a very easy way of making a huge difference!
