Barbara returns to tell the rest of her story of being a sex and love addict. Much as alcoholic parents introduce their kids to drinking, her own mother introduced her to the world of illicit sex; as a young teen she became her mother\u2019s confidant about her own extramarital affairs.

Barbara soon began to think that if she wouldn\u2019t be having sex, she would not \u201cbe cool.\u201d
