Case 312
I am the father of a three-year-old son. Four months ago, his mother and I got separated because I was treating both of them badly. I was unfaithful to her over and over, and she got tired of the fact that I never changed, so she finally left me. I’m really sorry for all I did, and I’m doing all I can to recover her love that I lost. But she says there's nothing left [...]
Case 311
I am the mother of an eight-year-old girl and a two-year-old baby. Another woman destroyed my home, and my attitude was to leave it all in the hands of God. I never held it against my husband... because he told me that he was happier with her and, even though I loved him, I respected his decision. This week... I had to call him, and she answered the phone using obscenities and telling me she [...]
Case 310
I am twenty-five years old and have a five-year-old son. About four years ago I met a man who was wonderful to me. He treated me very well, and promised me that he would be the father that my son did not have. Now everything has changed. He pays the utility bills and makes the payments on some appliances that he once bought for me on credit, claiming that he was doing it for my [...]
Case 309
I am a twenty-one year old mother and I have no experience in how to discipline my twenty-month-old son. I also have a seven-month-old baby girl.... At times I feel out of control, screaming at him exasperated because he is rambunctious and gets into everything. My husband has chosen to use the belt on him, and sometimes I feel that he goes too far. It really hurts me to see the marks left on his [...]
Case 308
I am thirty years old. A month ago I reconnected with my first girlfriend, who lives in another city. She has two children with an unmarried partner, but six years ago that relationship began to fall apart when her first child was born. Then he was unfaithful to her while she was pregnant with her second child. I remained single, not having heard anything about her for the past ten years. I thought that I [...]
Case 307
For years I have struggled with the memories of the arguments my parents used to have. My mother was the victim of my father’s temper and foul language.... I am now married and have three children, and have to admit that I have failed, in that I am repeating the same pattern with my wife. But what happened during our last argument was far worse than anything that has ever happened before. The pressure that [...]
Case 306
I work from Monday to Friday from 5:00 AM until 6:00 or 8:00 PM. My wife is an independent salesperson who leaves the house to charge her accounts two nights a week.... But she also goes to church two days a week, and that bothers me and makes me angry because it leaves very little time for us to spend together. Every morning, when I go to work, she gets my lunch ready and starts [...]
Case 305
Two years ago I fell in love with a twenty-seven-year-old man. He had a wife and children, and I was only fourteen.... We were expecting a baby, but two days before our son was born, that man died tragically: he was murdered.... I couldn’t go to the burial because no one knew that I even existed, much less that I was carrying his child. Now the baby calls me Mommy, calls his grandmother Mommy too, [...]
