I have a serious problem handling cash. Since I was a young child, I have always worked. As a result, I have had several economic problems and, on one occasion, at one of my jobs they discovered that I had taken some money. By the grace of God, I didn’t end up in jail; but [...]
I am writing this message because I am very sad. My husband won’t speak to me because, without consulting with him, I co-signed a loan for my brother-in-law. I know that I should have consulted with my husband, but my sister asked me the favor because they need the money. I know that I did [...]
Two months have gone by, and I can’t find work. I have a one-year-old daughter and my wife. I feel frustrated, worried, and my wife has even said that I am a failure. I have been offered the opportunity to go illegally in search of the American Dream and leave my family. I feel so [...]

I have a friend who asked me to tell you her case so that you can help her. She is a woman with four children. The oldest is a thirteen-year-old daughter who has a different father from the man she is living with now (they are not married). The problem is that she found her [...]
My mother gave birth to me when she was an unmarried teenager. I grew up in a household with a grandfather and uncles who are alcoholics.... In spite of the fact that my mother never hit me, she caused a gaping wound that is difficult to heal. She is also an alcoholic and, even though [...]
