I feel for you and admire your motherly love of your son and desire to help him. My teen son has ADHD, anxiety and OCD and it can be exhausting so I can empathize with you. Porn addiction is linked to ADHD so I have done some research on this subject.

Here are some links on the topic of porn changing brains. My hope is you are able to get your son the help he needs to manage his mental health and any addictions that are negatively impacting his life.

Wow! Thank you @dlydailyhope for all this information. I read your first resource. It's really hard to read about this. I wish, as many people do, he wasn't dealing with this. I hope he can live a normal life. My husband and I constantly worry about him. When we think he's doing okay, then something new pushes us back several steps.

I appreciate you sharing these resources. It will help explain to me why he needs to look at porn and what is happening for him.
Thank you.
