He previous to pull out at any time after we’ve intercourse, nonetheless I told him that I study on your column that one can calm acquire pregnant that suggests. So now we are using the condom.
The difficulty is he has a daughter who’s my age and he told me no longer to let her know that we are the linked age. Now that I’m residing at this man’s region and doing successfully, my cousins are always seeking to be good to me. They must return to where I’m residing and so that they’re always asking me for money. This man told me no longer to relief them to return to his region and I must calm no longer belief them.

When the time comes, this man has promised to rob me to discover my grandmother and grandfather.

Dear E.P.,
It is unlucky that your household did no longer treat you successfully. Nonetheless you were radiant enough no longer to vary into a phase of their way of life.
Despite the reality that you simply presumably did no longer spell it out, I feel that you simply might well well maybe presumably be seeking to command that your household interact in prostitution. You were rescued by the man with whom you live and I hope that he has told you the reality and nothing nonetheless the reality. He’s presumably embarrassed because you might well well maybe presumably be grand younger than him. Essentially, you might well well maybe presumably be the linked age as his daughter and he would not desire his daughter to know because she might well well truly feel that you simply might well well maybe presumably be too young for him.
I hope that you simply are going to be in a space to acquire a job to lend a hand yourself and I also hope that this man loves you enough to lend a hand you stir to college. Attain no longer rob the man’s money and give it to your household; be radiant.
Pastor
