I am writing this message because I am very sad. My husband won’t speak to me because, without consulting with him, I co-signed a loan for my brother-in-law. I know that I should have consulted with my husband, but my sister asked me the favor because they need the money. I know that I did [...]
Two months have gone by, and I can’t find work. I have a one-year-old daughter and my wife. I feel frustrated, worried, and my wife has even said that I am a failure. I have been offered the opportunity to go illegally in search of the American Dream and leave my family. I feel so [...]

My mother gave birth to me when she was an unmarried teenager. I grew up in a household with a grandfather and uncles who are alcoholics.... In spite of the fact that my mother never hit me, she caused a gaping wound that is difficult to heal. She is also an alcoholic and, even though [...]
My boyfriend and I are very different. He made the proposition to me that we live together and, if we stayed together for a year, then would get married. But... I want to get married before we live together because it makes the most sense. He says that he loves me. I love him, but [...]
