My husband has never been violent with me, but it is an entirely different story where our children are concerned. He frequently lashes out at them physically, and has seriously injured them on more than one occasion. I want to protect them, but I'm terrified of how he may react if I challenge him. What can I do?

Is it reasonable for a husband to look for sexual stimulation in pornography if his wife doesn't care about her appearance and lets herself go? I'm in a miserable marriage. Since our wedding, my wife has put on a lot of weight and isn't concerned about doing anything to address the problem. I don't want to divorce her, but I still have sexual needs. Any ideas?

Do you have advice for living with a spouse whose life is dominated by aggravatingly senseless little rituals? It's become obvious to me that she's suffering from obsessive compulsive disorder. I'm not using this term informally or unadvisedly. She's anxious and worried all the time. She won't go to bed without checking the front door at least ten times. I earn a good salary, but she's constantly voicing her fears that we won't be able to pay our mortgage. It's starting to drive me crazy! Any thoughts or suggestions?

How do I answer my child's difficult questions about her absent father? I broke up with her dad almost eight years ago – when she was just a baby – and she has never met him. But lately she's been asking things like, "Do you still love Daddy?" and "Why doesn't he call – doesn't he love me? " and "Can I try to find him someday?" What do you think I should say?

How do I keep my job from eating up my time and energy to the point where I have nothing left to give my family? I'm a high-level executive with a large corporation, and my struggle to balance work and family is made worse by the fact that business concerns tend to dominate my mind even during off-hours. Over and over again I come home at the end of a hectic day, determined to spend some quality time with my wife and kids, only to find that Vice President X, Manager Y, and Client Z are still carrying on a heated conversation inside my head. I'm afraid I've lost the ability to jump off the treadmill and leave the rat-race behind. Any suggestions?
