My family is made up of my twelve-year-old daughter and two sons, together with my partner, who is the father of all my children.... Unfortunately, he sexually abused our daughter.

Case 840
After ten years of marriage, my wife felt very drawn to an attractive and much younger guy who would come to the house to sell us bread. Sometimes they would spend up to forty minutes talking in front of our house. I would tell my wife that what she was doing wasn’t right, but she would reply that it was just an innocent friendship. I warned her many times until they got to the point [...]
Case 839
I got married and, at the start of the pandemic, my husband migrated alone to [another country]. My two children and I stayed behind. Over time, I found out that he pays women for sex. He says that’s all it is, but it broke my heart and I am devastated.... Now he tells me that, if I want our relationship to survive, I need to go to be with him, but my children don’t want [...]

Case 837
I am forty-three years old, and for some time I have been noticing that my mother shows signs of being a narcissistic, dramatic, and manipulative person who wants to suck us into the situations she causes. In spite of being a Christian, she is someone who is never content and who is constantly complaining. For her, to be a good daughter is to let her manipulate us and use us like puppets. I also feel [...]
Case 836
I’ve been married for twenty-eight years, and for the past eleven I’ve been struggling with my wife’s infidelities. I’ve forgiven a lot, but three months ago, when we seemed to be doing well, she told me that she was tired and no longer loved me. She brought up things I said in the past that hurt her deeply. I told her that I said those things out of anger over discovering her adultery. Right now [...]
Case 835
About five years ago I failed God by having sexual relations with my then-partner, trusting that we were going to get married.... But two years ago we separated. I asked God for forgiveness for failing Him in that way, but a year and a half ago I fell again with a man who lied to me, telling me he was single. It was a one-night thing. I have asked God for forgiveness for that too, [...]
Case 834
I’ve been married for twenty years.... We’ve never been unfaithful to one another, nor has there been any abuse. However, I feel abandoned. The attention my wife gives me is very scarce, as is mine towards her, but she doesn’t care about that. Regarding intimacy... we only have relations whenever she wants to.... I have thought about leaving her. I haven’t done it because of the three children we have.... It’s better to sacrifice myself [...]
