One Mistake Can Change Your Whole Life Path

The work that I do is basically getting people back on the right path. Most want to re-kindle love, save a marriage, find a lost love, have more money, stop a job loss, better health and much more, the list is endless.
More than 50% of the people I help are victims of their own mistakes that have life changing consequences.
I have two sad stories today and with the permission of my clients I have been given the go ahead to write about their situations.
One girl was under tremendous stress. She is a university student and is currently studying for a BA. She is Indian and the only girl which means she has to take care of her parents. Parent actually as it's only her mother that is still alive. The other siblings, boys, have all flown the nest and are not taking much interest. The girl's mother starting having heart problems as well as having elderly dementia. As my client was in and out of hospital her work was piling up. She had to give in an assessment and she wasn't going to make it. She seeked the help of a friend who gave her her essay. The MISTAKE happened when my client almost copied her friends assessment instead of re-wording and using her own initiative to change it. Yes we all know that she shouldn't have done it but being under so much stress and wanting to make the grade to carry on her studies she didn't think clearly enough. She also comes from a background that is quite ignorant of pursuing higher education and they are still of the generation where girls should get married and have babies.
My client was caught and severely punished. She has been up against the board who want every proof of her situation and they are leaving her hanging on. Her course had re-started and she is unable to return to university until this has been sorted out. She is miserable and beside herself with worry...

My next client, met a man who worshiped her. She left her country and moved in with him. The year after she got pregnant. During this time things were pretty good but once she got pregnant he became controlling. He tried to alienate her from friends that she worked with. She found herself no longer being able to socialise. She managed to convince her partner to go back to her country to have the baby and he said he wanted to get work. Apparently this was all a lie as he had his job held for him and after the baby was three months old they went back to his country. She did manange to go back to her job which in hindsight was a life saver. A year passed and they decided to get married. Things between them were not good at all but she thought the marriage would help things along and make them more of a united family. This was her big MISTAKE. The day after they were married he changed. It was if someone had switch on a light and bingo she was married to someone she didn't know at all. He worked from early morning to late evening. He was never there to see his son and he was never contactable at work. She made a decision to leave and three months after the marriage she did just that.
Before she knew it he had put a restraining order on her son so that she couldn't leave the country. She underwent every attack from him under the son. Accusations of abuse were coming from everywhere and as she was not in her own country and had no family she felt totally alone and frightened. Her case took years and years but during this time she met someone else, managed to get a divorce, married again and had another girl.
She is still hounded by her ex-husband to this day and he does his best to try to turn her son against her, luckily it is not working.
There was a silver lining in her cloud though as she managed to get permission to leave the country and she went back to her home where they are all happy, have good jobs and are surrounded by good friends and people who love them...
The moral of these two stories is to think before you act. Don't lose yourself in the moment and always weigh up consequences that could happen, good and bad.

Blessings to you all,
