Case 539
A girl that I know is pregnant, and my boyfriend is the father of the child.... I have blocked him from further contact with me, giving no explanation.... I don’t want to get back with him, whether or not he is the father of the child. I’m not interested. He deceived me and the girl. I hate that I was so naive and didn’t realize the kind of man I was with. It’s the second [...]
Case 538
Two years ago, I became the divorced father of two.... I have shared custody for weekends, but the children’s mother has made sure that I can’t take them with me, so it has been almost a year since I have seen them much.

Case 536
I am a businessman, and a client of mine told me about a “business opportunity.” I was carried away by greed, and I accepted the proposition. I was to safeguard the money of some people whose reputation is questionable. In exchange, they would give me some money; but I would have to give them some cash, that is, money of my own in order for them to supposedly give me the money for safekeeping. Now [...]
Case 535
There is turmoil in my country.... I see the injustice and, even though I call out to God, I mourn because evil people get away with what they do and good people are arrested, deprived of their rights, and flee from the country. My heart breaks, and I weep over what is happening: for those who have died, and for those who have been kidnapped. I want God to intervene in my nation, but I [...]

I jilted her a few months before the wedding and it hurt a lot to [...]

I am married, but my happiness is not complete because we haven’t had any children. My wife has many health issues, and I want to divorce her.

Case 531
I have now been married for two years. My husband has a daughter with another woman.... Before we were married, he swore to me that he didn’t love that woman... and proved to me that he loved me.
