Case 366
My father’s aggressive behavior during my childhood harmed me to such a great extent that now I have problems with my speech and in my nervous system. He treated my siblings, my mother, and me very badly. Now that I’m a teenager, I’m supporting him, with no hard feelings for the harm that he did to me during my childhood, since he can’t find a job because of his age; but he keeps on behaving [...]
Case 365
Two months ago I started having sexual relations with my girlfriend. However, I am tempted to pay for pleasure anyway. I know that neither of those things is good, because we are not married, but I don’t know what to do. I want to stop this impulse that controls me. I feel like it is alienating me from God. Dear Friend, There are many men who will identify with your situation, for certainly almost all [...]

Case 363
I am devastated. I am thirty-five now, but I had a great childhood and was taught well, to the extent that I had never even touched a cigarette or any alcohol. I worked hard, as my parents taught me, so that at thirty, I already owned four businesses.... Two years ago I unexpectedly encountered the worst punishment that exists. Money and comfort worked against me, and people that I don’t judge because they are sick [...]

Case 361
My girlfriend and I met on Facebook and began our relationship about a year ago.... Three months in... her teacher... asked her to have sex with him, and she did. I forgave her, but it hasn’t been the same. Ever since then, all we do is argue. A week ago she told my family all about it. They... told me she is not good for me, and that I should be wise. I love her [...]
Case 360
I am nineteen years old. When I was eighteen I began to work at a business where my parents are shareholders. To all my family I am “the hope to be president of the company” someday, so there are many expectations placed upon me. But this past year, working, studying at the university, and trying to keep in contact with my friends, I not only failed at work but also in my studies and in [...]
Case 359
My friend’s husband asked my husband to borrow some money, assuring him that he would pay it back as soon as possible. Months have passed and, in the meetings that we have all attended, my friend’s husband has never said anything to him about the loan. One day my husband sent him a message asking him about it, to which he responded that he was very sorry but it was not yet possible for him [...]
Case 358
My mom and dad fight a lot because my mom thinks that my dad has another woman, and my dad insults my mom. I don’t know what to do. I think that you can help me know what I have to do or what I should say to my parents. Dear Friend, Thank you for having confidence in us. It is difficult to be a teenager and have parents who fight a lot, and you [...]
