Case 285
I am twenty-four years old.... Seven months ago I had a romantic relationship.... I was faithful and respectful because I loved her a lot.... I like to be attentive and romantic with the person I love. Every day I read the Bible and other literary works, especially those written by Nobel Prize winners. I try above all to stay true to God’s commandments. She is twenty and is studying clinical psychology, but she doesn’t have [...]
Case 284
I lost my mom when I was young, and that has caused me to live a very solitary life and, from time to time, to cling desperately to relationships. For example, in order to not lose the affection of my boyfriend, I have tolerated all kinds of conversations that make me uncomfortable. I believe that it is not appropriate to talk about sexual themes, but when I tell my boyfriend that I don’t like for [...]
Case 283
I am a father who, together with my wife, has worked very hard. Our nineteen-year-old son is causing us a lot of problems, and we don’t know what to do. He got a job, but fell in with unsavory friends who convinced him to steal merchandise from the store where he was working, resulting in his dismissal. Now he spends his time with those so-called friends, staying out all night. Sometimes he takes our car [...]

Case 280
I have been married for a year, and I have some internal conflicts that are robbing me of peace. Sometimes I regret having married my husband. He’s not a bad man, but he has some habits that are extremely irritating. I have pointed out to him repeatedly certain attitudes of his that bother me, but it has done no good. We moved to his hometown, and I don’t like it at all; but he insists [...]
Case 279
I have been married for thirteen years and I have an eight-year-old daughter. Nine years ago my mother-in-law came to live with us, as he is an only child. We were renting the house we lived in, and had enough bedrooms for all four of us. A year and a half ago we had the opportunity to buy a house, but it only has two bedrooms. To make it work, my husband sleeps in one [...]
Case 278
I feel very lonely and left out by everyone, with the exceptions of my husband and my parents. When I was fifteen I made the mistake of gossiping about a friend. My childhood friends and neighbors began to pull away and have since not talked to me, except for saying hello and goodbye. I began high school and found it difficult to strike up conversations. I always felt that others were talking about me and [...]
