Case 15
[When I was twenty years old]... I met a guy who dedicated as much time to spend with me as I wanted. After a year of being his girlfriend, I had sex for the very first time, giving up my virginity to him. Four months later, I decided to move to another city because of a job opportunity. A year went by, and [my boyfriend] called me one day to tell me that an exam [...]
Case 14
My case began ten years ago. My father has always had a weakness for women; in other words, he’s a womanizer. My mother has always argued with him about this, but he won’t settle down. They have separated thousands of times, only to get back together. I have an older brother, a sister who is younger than I, and a brother who is the youngest of all. My problem is with my mother. She hates [...]
Case 13
I have a ten‑year‑old daughter with cerebral palsy. Four years ago I was diagnosed with severe coxarthrosis, thus needing an operation to insert a prosthesis that would be very costly for me. Since I have felt my health deteriorating with each passing day, I have thought many times about taking my life along with the life of my daughter, whom I love very much. I just know that without me [her mother] she would suffer [...]
Case 12
I am a twenty‑three‑year‑old young woman with a three‑year‑old son. His father and I are no longer together. He doesn’t help support his son, and that has made me have a bad attitude. I have slept with four different men in less than a year. I am desperate and don’t know what to do. I don’t want to go on like this. What should I do? Dear friend, Congratulations for having evaluated your current pattern [...]
Case 11
When I was seven, an evil man paid me to have sexual relations with him. At that age, I did not have a clear understanding of what I was doing. My parents didn't know anything about it. It happened a few times until one day my father found out and tried to kill the man. After that, I never had that kind of relationship with anyone. Today I am thirty‑three years old, married, with [...]
Case 10
I am a civil engineer, married for the past fifteen years, with one beautiful daughter.... Although we have always been happily married, I feel that my unemployment is putting that in jeopardy. Every time I don't have work, a crisis looms because my wife changes completely and becomes authoritarian. The one who pays the consequences is my daughter, as her mother becomes aggressive and takes out all that negative energy on us. I am not [...]
Case 9
A few days ago, while doing my housework, I had the television on and heard your message that day. I ran to get a pencil and paper to write down how I could get more information about you. I thought you might be able to give me an answer to something that gets me down and pains my heart because of not having that answer. Tomorrow is the fourth anniversary of the day my father [...]
Case 8
I suspect that my husband is having an affair with our housekeeper. I am not sure if they have already had sex, but I have a feeling that it is about to happen. I think it’s best to fire her, but the anguish of not knowing if anything has happened is killing me. I am desperate and don’t know what to do. I’ve had a very hard time sleeping and eating because of the desperation [...]
Case 7
Part 1: “I am addicted to pornography on the Internet. I would like for you to give me some advice so that all this that is disturbing my mind will leave me in peace. I would also like to know a little about God.” Part 2: “I am a young medical student. Since I was very young I have had problems with pornography. Some nights I have wet dreams. I can’t stand it any more. [...]
