September 2010 - Ask me anything
"I'm scared that we may lose our sisterly bond" My sister and I were not very close as children, but later on we became inseperable and our husbands and children got along, which made for a very happy family life. Now, our children are grown up and we are both recently widowed. We do a lot of things together and are always there for each other. But now she's suggested we should... Read more

August 2010 - Ask me anything
"He's lost that loving feeling" For the last seven years my husband and I have had no intimate contact. I talked him into going to the doctors but they have found nothing medically wrong. Two years ago he was given Viagra, but he won't take it or even talk to me so that we can try to work things out. I am only in my 50s and feel that my sex life should not be over yet! I love m...

July 2010 - Ask me anything?
How can I find time to work? We have three children under seven, the youngest is just 11 months old. My husband has to work long hours to keep the home going and he keeps hinting that I should think about going back to work. Part of me would quite like a little job for the company and for the extra money but I'm not sure I could cope with everything if that happened. My mother would help a b... Read more

June 2010 - Ask me anything?
"I can't forgive and forget" My husband had an affair in 2008 - we'd been married for eight years. Up until then I'd thought our marriage was rock solid; we had the usual squabbles about money, but other than that we were quite happy. After a year apart, and a lot of soul-searching, we got back together and he promised me it would never happen again. I know he is a good man... Read more

May 2010 - Ask me anything?
"My husband's phobia is getting out of control" My husband of nearly 50 years is phobic about eating out in public - cafes, restaurants, parties. He just starts to perspire and shake. He is in good health otherwise and has an IQ of 187. On holiday this year, out of a possible 21 meals he only ate four. We once went on holiday with friends who insisted we ate out every night - my h... Read more

April 2010 - Ask me anything?
"I can't forgive my sister" My parents split up when I was a child. I stayed with my mum and my sister lived with our dad. He died when she was 16 and, when my mum offered her a home, she refused it, saying my mother had abandoned her as a child. Then, when my mum was ill, she wouldn't help and left me to handle everything. My mum died soon after and I tried to forgive my siste... Read more

March 2010 - Ask me anything?
"MY MOTHER-IN-LAW IS DRIVING ME MAD" My mother-in-law always undermines my authority and questions my judgement. My husband's attitude is, "Don't let her get to you." Recently she upset my son, who failed the eleven-plus, by saying he could have gone to university if he had gone to a grammar school. We know he will have job satisfaction in his chosen trade but my mo... Read more

February 2010 - Ask me anything?
"What happened to the man I married?" My husband and I dated for a couple of years and then two years ago we decided to get married. Before we were so happy together - he was always affectionate and showered me with compliments - but as soon as we got married that all seemed to change. I suppose my ideas that how we felt about each other would last until we grew old together were a bit... Read more

January 2010 - Ask me anything?
"We're so ashamed of our son" Please help me as we don't know where to turn. Our son, who has always been a credit to us, is facing a charge of assault. It all happened during a night out for a friend's 18th birthday and he says he was defending himself against a gang who attacked his friends for no reason. However, they had all had too much to drink and that has shocked ... Read more

December 2009 - Ask me anything?
"My son's grief is destroying him" My husband died a few months ago and, since then, my son seems to have retreated into a shell. They had always had quite a difficult relationship but in recent years, as my husband's health deteriorated, I thought things had improved. My son found it hard seeing his dad like that and, after he died, he said he was glad that his suffering was... Read more
