Case 465
I separated from my girlfriend two years ago. We had two children together. I still love her, but she lies to me all the time and her mother backs her up.... All they care about is what I have to contribute financially. She knows that I love her, and that’s why she taunts me. But when she is sick, she calls me and I go. I risk losing my job to help her. But once [...]
Case 464
I am a sixteen-year-old girl. I am very timid and I don’t have any friends. This started four years ago.... All my friends distanced themselves from me, and now I am alone. Sometimes I cut myself. I hurt myself, but I don’t want to continue doing that.... I wasn’t like that before. I was very friendly, but everything changed. I want to be happy again, but it’s really difficult for me. My parents don’t understand [...]
Case 463
I am a twenty-eight-year-old divorced woman with a nine-year-old son. I have lived with my parents since the break up of my marriage, but it won’t be long before I will be out on my own, which is what I want the most. For some reason I feel like I don’t fit in with anyone, not even with my own family. I love them, but from a distance.... Their bad attitudes, the constant fights I [...]
Case 462
Three years ago a beautiful baby girl was born, but her maternal grandmother forbade that I be recognized as her father... so much so that she manipulated the conscience of my baby girl’s mother convincing her not to accept that the child be given my last name.... I can’t see my daughter. I have thought of going through child welfare services to require that a DNA test be given.... I have tried to do things [...]

Case 460
Five months ago my father died, and then my grandmother died three months later. As a result I have begun to feel badly, including stomach pains. I got tested, and nothing is wrong with me. But sometimes I get panicked and I feel like taking off running. I go to church and pray about my situation, but it won’t go away. At times I fear that I’m going crazy. In spite of my prayers, I [...]
Case 459
I am the oldest of three sisters. That’s why I was brought up with strict discipline.... The treatment my sisters have received has been different. They’ve done things I never did.... things that bother me because, if I had done those things, I would have been beaten, insulted, and run out of the house. I know that it’s wrong for me to hold a grudge against my parents. Every time I open my mouth during [...]
Case 458
I have been married for nine years. Six months ago my wife began working in a casino. She had always said that she loved me, but three months ago she changed completely toward me saying she didn’t love me, but only wanted me. Around three weeks ago I saw on her cell phone that she had a conversation with another man. I brought it up, asking her what was going on, but she said it [...]
Case 457
A month ago we found out that my husband’s father has cancer.... It is already stage four.... My relationship with my father-in-law has always been distant. I have never received any support or advice from him. When we visit at his house, very seldom do we interact. We hardly ever get past saying hello. I feel sad about the situation he is going through right now, but I don’t feel like calling him or visiting [...]
