Addressing p*rnography with your child

Parent-to-be here. In preparation for this next phase of life, I’ve been reflecting a lot about my own upbringing as a child and thinking about what I want to do differently as a parent.

A memory that came to mind specifically was my mother’s reaction to when she first discovered me viewing pornography (didn’t clear the search history…) When she confronted me, she basically said something like “This is satan, and if you do this you will go to hell”, before storming off and not speaking to me about it again.

I know most of our parents aren’t perfect, and we won’t be either, but I’d like to be much less imperfect for the sake of my future children.

I’m hoping there are good, self-aware, Catholic parents out there who can share their experiences or advice for handling these big eventual conversations?
