I got married eleven years ago. My husband already had a daughter from his previous relationship... and together we now have three small children as well.... A month ago my stepdaughter confessed to me that when she first came to the country we live in, her father sexually abused her, so I confronted him. He [...]
Five months ago I started living with my new boyfriend, and we can’t seem to agree on how to rear his daughter and my son who are four and five years old. Sometimes, when my boyfriend plays with my son, he treats him very roughly... to the point of making him cry. He’s not like [...]
I have two sons who are eighteen and twenty years old.... Their father died nine months ago from a brain tumor.... [During that time,] I had to leave home to work in order to make ends meet, and I lost control of them.... Both refuse to help with any housework, and my health is not [...]
A few years ago, I beat my son, harshly punishing him. He was six years old, and when his mom saw the bruises, she reported me for child abuse. I was sentenced to six years in jail. This month, not having any information about my son, I went to his mom’s workplace to find out [...]

I am taking a pre-university course to be able to major in the field of architecture.... My problem is that I am economically disadvantaged and have no one helping me.... My mom can’t help me because I have two younger brothers, and she had to raise us without a father.... Every day I wonder what [...]
I have had a girlfriend for the past seventeen months. Five months ago I asked her to marry me, and she said yes. We are planning to be married in December of this year. However, there is something that I keep worrying about, and that is that I lied to her when we were first [...]
My husband moved out because one night I didn’t make it home from work, having been stuck there with no one to give me a ride to our house. He says that’s a lie, that I should have found a way to get home, and that my attitude was not right. This month we celebrate [...]
