Case 384
I have been married for approximately seven years, and we have two children.... During an argument, I stabbed my husband in the chest with a small knife. Thank God, it didn’t hurt him seriously; but now we are legally separated and are waiting on a court ruling regarding the custody of the children. I need some advice, please. What can I do? Dear Friend, You tell the story about what happened as if it were [...]
Case 383
A week ago we found out that my girlfriend is pregnant.... I am still a student. Because of that, my girlfriend decided to not tell anyone who the father of the child is. Apparently her mother is going to stand behind her, but my family does not know anything. I have asked the Lord, repentantly, to give me another chance so that the child is not born or that it is not true that she [...]
Case 382
I am the result of a casual relationship between two single adults. My father has always rejected me. He is now married and has three children, who don’t love me because I was born before they came into his life. Everyone in the family recently found out about my existence, but they ignore me so as not to look bad. I hate them! I want to get revenge! I want them to die so I [...]
Case 381
Four years ago my husband fell in love with another woman and left me and our two children. I thought that he would change his mind and come back. However, he did not, but rather started a new family and forgot about us. That made me feel deeply frustrated and, in spite of all the time that has passed, I think that the rage and the pain have not gone away, and I have turned [...]
Case 380
I resent my father very much because he is the most cruel man that I have ever known. He hurts my mother both physically and psychologically. He is an alcoholic, and he uses hurtful and obscene language. I have hated and resented him all my life for all the things he has done to us, to the extent of wanting to take his life so that this suffering will stop. My mother is a believer [...]
Case 379
I have been married for the past nine years. Mi wife and I argue and fight all the time. I am tired of it and want to leave her; but I have two children whom I love dearly, and I stay because of them. However, I can’t stand her any more! What can I do? Dear Friend, We congratulate you on making your children’s welfare a higher priority than your personal preferences and comfort. You [...]
Case 378
I have been in a relationship with my boyfriend for five years. We have economic difficulties that prevent us from getting married. I can’t help feeling envy, desperation, and sadness in my heart every time someone else announces their upcoming marriage. I just try to hide my feelings and attend the wedding even though I feel badly about it. I don’t know how to get this envy out of my heart and be glad with [...]
Case 377
I am the father of two daughters, one who is eighteen and the other who is five years old. My wife and I don’t have any marital problems, but five years ago we began to have difficulties with our oldest daughter. The worst happened when she began to attend the university, for even though we asked her to not be like her friends, following their lifestyles, she has done exactly that in complete defiance of [...]
Case 376
My husband abandoned me while I was pregnant, leaving me with all the household debt.... My baby was born and, when I brought her home, her father voluntarily paid for some of the expenses. However, six months ago he stopped visiting our daughter and stopped contributing financially for her needs. I have tried to get him to visit the baby and to agree on an amount that he should contribute, but he flatly refuses. I [...]
