Barb Winters

I’m Barb, wife and parent of four adult children.

When one of my sons was fourteen, he confessed to watching pornography. I was shocked, mad, and ashamed. I questioned my parenting skills. The stigma surrounding his behavior kept me from talking with others, so I suffered in silence. The pain and emotional turmoil left me feeling empty and alone.

Since that time, I’ve learned a thing or two about pornography, screens, online relationships, hookup culture, grooming, human trafficking, and the teenage brain. My experience combatting this monumental problem and my desire for no other parent to feel alone in this battle, led me to create this site. It’s a place for parents, grandparents, educators, and leaders to find support, encouragement, and practical tips for parenting in this digital world. Oh, and HOPE.

I assure you, no matter the circumstance, there is hope. Your child’s story isn’t over. And neither is yours.

I love writing, photography, playing games with my family, and exploring Florida. I’m an empty-nester and enjoy long, romantic walks on the beach with my pastor. Did I mention he’s my husband?
