I am the oldest of three sisters. That’s why I was brought up with strict discipline.... The treatment my sisters have received has been different. They’ve done things I never did.... things that bother me because, if I had done those things, I would have been beaten, insulted, and run out of the house. I [...]
I need help. I almost killed my one-year-old son. He wouldn’t stop crying, and I lost my mind: I wanted to strangle him. It’s not the first time that I have done it. I have abused my older children as well.... I have told my husband, and he says that it’s all going to pass, [...]
I am the result of a casual relationship between two single adults. My father has always rejected me. He is now married and has three children, who don’t love me because I was born before they came into his life. Everyone in the family recently found out about my existence, but they ignore me so [...]

Yesterday an obnoxious man started arguing with me about the way that I packed his groceries. I answered him back respectfully, but apart from who was right, the guy insulted me. My reaction was to [...]
Today I feel very badly, so very badly! I am the mother of two children, a daughter who is ten years old and a son who is two and a half. I punished and cruelly hit my daughter, and I don’t want to do it again. It was because she lied to me about her [...]
I am a twenty-eight-year-old man with hopes and dreams of having a family and a wife to love and respect in the way that God has taught a man to love his wife. I have a precious girlfriend that I met a little over a year ago.... When I was a child my mother abused [...]
For a long time I have had a character flaw. I get very angry when someone, even though he realizes he is wrong, will not admit it.... We all make mistakes, but why not say, “I’m sorry; I was wrong,” and then correct what we have done? It also makes me very angry when someone [...]
