Case 436
I want to confess that I’m addicted to women, so much so that I try to meet women on social networking sites so that I can take them to bed. My addiction is so bad that I even pay for prostitutes, and I don’t care how old they are, or their race or social class.... It has gotten worse in the last three years, to the extent that I am bankrupt from paying for prostitutes [...]
Case 435
I have been trapped by alcoholism. It has brought many problems into my marriage, including fights and recriminations. I’ve asked my wife to forgive me for what I’ve done wrong, but two weeks ago she began saying that she wants to get separated. I just found on her mobile phone that she has been in contact with an ex-boyfriend of her youth. The messages suggest that they might see each other. I don’t know if [...]
Case 434
I am married and have a two-year-old daughter and a ten-month old son.... I quit work, and now I just stay at home.... My husband earns plenty, but I am tired of staying home all day. I know it is a blessing to be able to take care of my own children, but I am frustrated professionally. I put my daughter in a daycare center to try it out, and it was not a good [...]
Case 433
I have had a girlfriend for almost a year, but she has had a difficult past that torments me. I love her, but very often I think about what she did. She was the lover of a much older man, and has a daughter from him, as well as two daughters from a man who died.... Please, I need some advice! Dear Friend, You are very wise to recognize your doubts and to examine them. [...]
Case 432
Eight years ago I became a follower of Christ, but I made some bad decisions and stopped following Him. A year ago I renewed my relationship with Him as my Lord, and since that time I’ve made changes in my life that have been very good for me and my family. I have a small business, and I don’t feel like it’s progressing or prospering yet. I know that it’s not God’s fault, but I’d [...]
Case 431
I need help. I almost killed my one-year-old son. He wouldn’t stop crying, and I lost my mind: I wanted to strangle him. It’s not the first time that I have done it. I have abused my older children as well.... I have told my husband, and he says that it’s all going to pass, that I am strong and that I need to try harder, and that he believes in me. But I am [...]
Case 430
My girlfriend has prohibited me from having casual female friends. She is jealous every day in more ways than you could imagine. She is even jealous of the time I spend with my sister! That’s why I don’t love her as much as I used to. She wants to control me. It feels like she doesn’t trust me, so no matter how much we love each other, I don’t think we’ll end up getting married [...]
Case 429
I have an eighteen-month-old daughter from an extramarital relationship. When she was born, her biological father refused to give her his last name, but today I got the court to mandate child support from him. The rejection from her father’s family caused me to legally seek to deny him any visitation with her. I ask God for wisdom to help me nurture my beautiful daughter, but I adamantly refuse for her to have present or [...]
Case 428
I am a twenty-year old girl.... I met a guy at work and chose to be his girlfriend even though he did not share my principles. He promised to change, but that never happened.... I was not happy. My conscience would not leave me in peace. He induced me to do things that I had never done before.... I spent more than a year like that, far from God internally, until the day I decided [...]
