I have bitterness in my heart toward my stepfather and toward my mother, and this weighs on my conscience. Since I was a child, I grew up believing that my mother paid more attention, and gave more care and love, to my stepfather than to my sister and me. I truly believe that she neglected [...]
I am the mother of two [young] children.... I am an alcoholic. My mother has drunk alcoholic beverages all of her life.... I have never made a home with anyone, not even the father of my children. I don’t want commitments with anyone — only with my mother and my children. The problem is that [...]
I have been married for three years and have a son who will soon be one.... Before we had him, my plan was always to stay home with him full time, but unfortunately it hasn’t worked out that way. I work eight hours a day and then am with my baby three and a half [...]
I am a thirty‑three‑year‑old woman, separated for the past year, with three small children. A while back, a man came into my life that I had known before I was married.... He showered me with words of love and flattery... and I ended up having sexual relations with him. I feel very badly: I [...]

I became a widower in 2008, but it’s all right to marry again, isn’t it? I have two children who are twenty‑three and nineteen years old. Do I need to ask their permission or not? They are both involved in advanced studies.... I don’t know how they would react. I am at that crossroads. Dear [...]
My wife told me that our neighbor, who is doing her internship in psychology, gave our eleven‑year‑old son some psychological tests which determined that he is depressed, and that he even told her that it would be better if he killed himself. My wife has mental illness in her background, and... I realize that I [...]
I am twenty‑one and have a two‑and‑a‑half‑month‑old daughter. For the past two years I have been living with my daughter’s father. He has two sons with the woman who is still his wife.
