I've had a long-standing friendship with a man that was arrested for attempting sexual contact with a child, that he maintains was a mistake on his part (he claims that he thought that it was online sexual roleplay).
I have intense feelings for this man. I have cut contact but i miss him terribly. I have mental health issues anyway but I feel completely untethered without his presence. How do i get over him and feel like myself again? Therapy hasn't helped. I'm both devastated without him and hating myself for caring.
