Case 703
I am a single, thirty-three-year-old woman, living with my parents and younger sister.... Since I am the only one with a stable income, I pay for almost all the expenses of the household. My parents’ income only covers the rental of the house. A few years back I got a loan to cover a significant family need, and I am still paying it down. I’ve given my parents advice about what I believe we should [...]
Case 702
Eight years ago, after living with a woman I ended it and went back to my wife. But I was such a horrible person that I left the woman pregnant. And more than four years ago she died unexpectedly.... Now I realize that, besides being a horrible person, I don’t deserve to live. I have even considered suicide as an option. Now my daughter, whose mother died, lives with her maternal grandmother, and even though [...]
Case 701
Eighteen years ago, my wife was unfaithful with someone who claimed to be my friend. But because I had also been unfaithful, I decided to forgive her. She has always been an excellent mother, and now is a wonderful grandmother for our two grandchildren. Ever since then we’ve been very happy together, until two months ago when that guy, with whom she had been unfaithful, wrote to her on Facebook. She answered and they exchanged [...]
Case 700
Almost five years ago I was with a married man. I ended up pregnant and, when I gave him the news, he told me to get an abortion.... When my son was born, I notified the man and sent him a photo telling him that, because of being the father, I would give my son his surname. Two years later the man told me he wanted to meet his son, and two years after that [...]
Case 699
I’ve been with my boyfriend for four years, but our relationship has been deteriorating because of his infidelities.

He says that she knows about our relationship and that he wants to be with me, but that he doesn’t want to stop communicating with her because she has promised to help him get ahead. And [...]
Case 698
In a video conference call that my sister, who is forty-nine years old, made to my brother and me and our parents, she blamed and called out our father for abusing her sexually, and our mother for being complicit from the time that she had told her about it when she was thirty. I’m asking God to resolve this situation fairly because I love all my family, and I’d like divine intervention for God to [...]
Case 697
I am fourteen years old, and my grandmother is the one who has raised me.... I have always been required to attend church, and now they want me to get baptized, but I don’t want to do it. I want to wait until I am sure about taking this important step in my life, but she doesn’t understand, so she’s forcing me to do it. I am desperate! Right now, I know I’m not living [...]
Case 696
I am twenty-seven years old and live with my girlfriend, who is twenty years old. We have a three-year-old daughter. A few weeks ago, I was at the point of committing the worst crime that plagues our society today: the murder of my girlfriend, on account of some messages of hers on Facebook.
