My son found out his baby is not his. What should he do?
Dear Precious Friends, Thank you so much for your kind words of encouragement and prayers last week. I definitely felt them.

Do I have to give him another chance?
Blessings Everyone! Lately I have been deeply grieved by the depth of our own self-deception and how it so impacts our relationships with one another.

My wife tells me I don’t satisfy her sexually. I’m devestated.

How do I let go of my dream?
Thanks for your encouraging words about last week’s blog. Today’s question has to do with letting go. Question: I read your book, The Emotionally Destructive Relationship, and am working to grow and heal but there is something I can’t seem to get past.

My husband says he’s divorcing me but still wants sex. Do I have to?
Last week we had quite a number of interesting responses to my blog post answering the question of whether or not to give her husband another chance. I even got a response in Chinese although I’m sorry that I can’t read it and don’t know anyone who can translate it for me. But it’s encouraging […]
