Reply To: Going off the Derech

daniela-the truth is, I haven’t told my parents, who are in the States. I’m sure there wouldn’t be a sympathetic reaction, probably more of a tough love approach. My in-laws know, and they have tried talking to him, as well as my brothers-in-law. But he couldn’t hear it at the time. We have a simcha coming up soon, b’ezras Hashem, so it will soon be common knowledge, and then everyone can talk to him…if he comes.

I know I have to pull myself out of this depression, if not for my son’s sake, then at least for the other kids. But until then, I can’t yet seem to laugh…or smile.
