Case 803
I am a thirty-six-year-old woman who feels totally empty and forgotten. It is embarrassing to admit that at my age I have never had a romantic relationship. I have never been kissed, and I feel guilty about that. I think that if I had been a person who enjoys going out, dancing, [and having a good time], I would be telling a different story. I have been on a few dates, but [I ended up [...]
Case 802
For the past eight months I’ve been in a romantic relationship with a married woman who is in the process of getting a divorce and has a nine-year-old daughter.... From the beginning we had a sexual relationship. I knew it was wrong, but we kept on doing it anyway. It was all secret. A week ago, she broke up with me. She had looked over my social media communication and saw things that she didn’t [...]
Case 801
Until about eight months ago I was a very studious person, but around five months ago my sister was put in jail unjustly, and from that moment on there’s been a very drastic change in me. I don’t see life the same way that I did before. I’ve attempted suicide, but I haven’t been successful. For weeks I’ve been in an inexplicable depression. I would just like some advice so that I can get past [...]
Case 800
My pregnancy with our daughter was very traumatic for me. I was sick the entire time... and there were times when my life was at risk. Then the birth almost killed me because of problems with the anesthesia.... I don’t want to go through that again. That experience left me afraid to get pregnant again, but everyone who is close to us insists that we should have another child. I have talked about it with [...]
Case 799
I’ve been married for forty years. My wife and I have been followers of Christ for the past fourteen years. Ever since I was a teenager I’ve been jealous and have made my wife’s life very difficult. To this day, when we disagree about something, I abuse her verbally. Afterward I always feel guilty and question whether I’m really sincere with God. I don’t read the Bible very much, and I think that I’m not [...]
Case 798
Two months ago my thirteen-year-old daughter revealed to my sister-in-law that my husband (her stepfather) had been sexually abusing her. This is affecting me because my daughter’s father wants to report my husband to the police, but I chose to forgive my husband instead. My husband is very sorry, and he has given his heart to Jesus Christ. I can see genuine repentance on his part. Am I doing the wrong thing by forgiving him [...]
Case 797
My ex-wife and I have a daughter together. I had to get a divorce from her because she physically and emotionally abused me. She already had four children, and I tried to give them what I could; but they were all teenagers and never accepted me.... They made my life impossible, to the extent that one of them punched me in the mouth. My ex-wife stabbed me in the arm with a knife. For the [...]
Case 796
I have difficulty communicating with the man that I love. Every time I try to tell him something important, he blows up at me.... I feel bad because I believe that I don’t express myself well. I ask God to put the right words in my mouth. My boyfriend thinks that I am immature.... I am afraid that this will make him get bored of our relationship. But I don’t know how to communicate with [...]
Case 795
My mother is elderly and needs special care. My sisters and I have tried to shoulder this responsibility together, but I would like to have her with me all the time. I am married and have two children.... One of my sisters has told me that we should admit her to a home for the elderly where she will be cared for, but I don’t agree. I think that we as her daughters can still [...]
