I got divorced. I marked my children for life. I threw away eleven years of marriage, and all because of being selfish.... Now my ex-wife says that I abandoned them and ruined her life (even though technically the divorce was by mutual consent), and that I marked and ruined the lives of my children. I [...]
I have been working in a fast food restaurant for eight months. Every day I observed my coworkers taking money from the cash register and stealing it without a second thought. For more than five months I avoided that dreadful misconduct, but the temptation was always there. Two months ago I fell into the destructive [...]
My relationship with my mother was very weak because she was an alcoholic.... It was so difficult that she eventually decided to move to another country. When she had been there for seven years, she got infected with AIDS and died. That was six years ago. I couldn’t go to help her, to be with [...]
Ever since I got married, I have repressed my guilt feelings. Sometimes I’m not sure how to act when I’m with my husband. It seems like my happiness hurts my mom. She always tells me that I made the wrong decision by getting married. She says that she spent her entire life bringing up her [...]

A few years ago I was fortunate enough to make a lot of money in an honest manner, but I invested it very badly. I thought the money would never run out, but I was very surprised when suddenly, after being involved in gambling, bad habits and worldly pleasures for only one year, I lost [...]
I have been a prostitute for twenty years, thanks to my “mother.” She was a drug addict and my father was a drunk, and they sent me out to prostitute myself to support their habits.... My life is ruined, and the only thing I know is that I’m not worth anything.... I think the best [...]
I am a thirty‑three‑year‑old woman, separated for the past year, with three small children. A while back, a man came into my life that I had known before I was married.... He showered me with words of love and flattery... and I ended up having sexual relations with him. I feel very badly: I feel [...]
I don’t know what love is. I don’t love anyone, and instead I try to hurt the people who love me the most: my wife and my daughter. I don’t know what’s wrong with me. I do things I shouldn’t and, every time I decide to turn to God, I feel condemned and guilty. That [...]
