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 have always wanted the best for my family. I have worked (outside the home) even when I was pregnant. I have a good husband who is an excellent father, but I have always earned more money than he does and on occasion I have felt bad about that.... Lately he has worked part time [...]
I am twelve years old. I am studying the Bible, because the subject of the end of the world scares me and I think I have found some answers as I read it. But my relatives and friends tell me that I shouldn’t believe everything that is written in the Bible. They say that over [...]
Four years ago I met a young woman and we were married shortly after that. The misunderstandings began, and she sporadically threatened to kill herself. She doesn’t have many relatives, and those she has act indifferent toward her, so I have always tried to understand her and accept her. But I have never understood why [...]
When I met my husband, he was divorced from his first wife because of her infidelity and had a son who is now fifteen years old. We have been married now for ten years, and have two children of our own. We have been very happy; however, I am worried about my stepson.... Recently he [...]
Five years ago, I met a man that I fell deeply in love with, who was separated from his wife and had two sons. As a result of this relationship, we have a two‑year‑old daughter. In spite of the fact that we have a daughter, we go on with life as before when we fell [...]
Three years ago I met the father of my son. When he found out that I was pregnant, he washed his hands of any economic obligation. My parents forgave me, and I remained living at home with my son and decided to dedicate myself to God, to my family, and to my baby. But I [...]
My parents divorced a few months before I was born, and my father moved to another city. I am now twenty‑two years old, and I have seen my father only on a few occasions.... My mother never spoke badly of him, but she has said that she hopes we will never look for him because [...]
A year ago my husband left us for another woman.... Neither our twenty‑nine years of marriage, nor our children, nor our grandchild mattered to him. For twenty years we lived next door to my mother‑in‑law in a wooden shack in order to save for a better future, and now it is another woman who is [...]
I never had a family like I would have liked to have. My mother died when I was a child, and I can’t even remember her face. My father left us with my grandmother for her to take care of us. Although she was good and reared us, she didn’t give us the love that [...]
