Example Letters
I have something in the back of my
mind that keeps bothering me and I wish I could just erase it from my mind. I
have been separated for the past four years. I was married to my wife for ten
years. She was my high school sweetheart but now everything has ended. Together
we have two wonderful boys. She was always a great mother until we separated.
From day one we separated, it was like she detached from my boys as well. It
really bothers me that she is not a mother to them anymore. To be honest with
you I feel like we do not need her in our lives! My boy’s are now twelve and
eight and they live with me. They don’t
mention him her at all. We lived close to her for years but never heard from
her, so we moved to another state about 900 miles away. I do not mind ever
hearing from her again. My question is how do you forget about the most
precious and valuable things in life?-------TRYING TO FORGET
Dear Dr. Becky:
I just turned 17 year old. My boyfriend, "Drew" and I have
been together for two years. He is the first boyfriend I have ever had. He
asked me to marry him after we had been going out for 3 months and I said yes.
He had hinted about asking previously but I had not responded because I didn’t
want to hurt him. I care about him very much. I have family and friends telling
me that I am young and need to take my time.
I did tell him that I wanted to take it slowly since I am so young and
he is only 18. Drew tells me if I break
up with him to date other guys, he will never date me again. Becca, I want to
make sure he is the person I want to be with for the rest of my life. I really
do feel too young to be engaged or married but I love Drew greatly. I scared of
losing him or breaking his heart. I don’t want to destroy this relationship.
What can I do to help myself know that I have found my true love? -- STUCK IN
LOVE
