Reply To: Going off the Derech

aries2756-I like and value your input, and I don’t feel that I should ignore your perspective or anyone else’s just bc I’m following a particular technique. My husband alone is the biggest critic of Twisted Parenting! However, we do agree that nothing else has worked so far. I’m wondering whether TP can be tempered at times and still have the same effect. And what is the goal of TP exactly? If the goal is just to have peace in the house (which is great), I don’t think we have to act so extreme in order to have it. Perhaps the reason nothing has worked before is bc our goal was to bring our son back to the derech and get him away from his chevra. Is that also the goal of TP? I would like to understand the technique of TP and hear it in its entirety, and see if it works for us. But I do get a lot of chizuk and insight from you and all the posters, and would hope it continues. One doesn’t have to preclude the other.
