His father was addicted to gambling. This is a big issue for him ... he somehow empathizes with his father and compares himself to the father. I am not sure how this plays out. Father was also an expert at leading double life and hiding things from every one -- something H has never wanted to do but has obviously been doing. This is an issue I have decided to explore in C (I really do need help from someone else to explore some of these explosive issues and am afraid to touch them by myself for the fear of making things worse).
He is a very high achieving man but also has incredibly high ambitions and consequently, plenty of failures. He has brought up the fact that his visits to prostitutes occur at at time he is feeling really down or has suffered a set back.
I have also wondered about sexual addiction but I think this is a label we tend to use too easily and I don't feel qualified to make judgment. One more issue I hope C will help us tackle.
