I am a sixteen-year-old girl. I am very timid and I don’t have any friends. This started four years ago.... All my friends distanced themselves from me, and now I am alone. Sometimes I cut myself. I hurt myself, but I don’t want to continue doing that.... I wasn’t like that before. I was very [...]
I am a twenty-eight-year-old divorced woman with a nine-year-old son. I have lived with my parents since the break up of my marriage, but it won’t be long before I will be out on my own, which is what I want the most. For some reason I feel like I don’t fit in with anyone, [...]
Three years ago a beautiful baby girl was born, but her maternal grandmother forbade that I be recognized as her father... so much so that she manipulated the conscience of my baby girl’s mother convincing her not to accept that the child be given my last name....

I have been separated for seven years. My ex-wife and I have a daughter who is now twelve years old. Our daughter has an older brother who is fifteen, and I love them equally and have always looked after both of them. Four years ago I gave my ex-wife a job to help her, and [...]

I have been married for nine years. Six months ago my wife began working in a casino. She had always said that she loved me, but three months ago she changed completely toward me saying she didn’t love me, but only wanted me. Around three weeks ago I saw on her cell phone that she [...]
A month ago we found out that my husband’s father has cancer.... It is already stage four.... My relationship with my father-in-law has always been distant. I have never received any support or advice from him. When we visit at his house, very seldom do we interact. We hardly ever get past saying hello. I [...]
My girlfriend and I had been in a relationship for four years when I met another woman and was unfaithful with her. I confessed the infidelity to my girlfriend because I love her, so I asked her to forgive me to get things right between us again. But within a short time the other woman [...]
I’ve been married for four years.
