Reply To: Going off the Derech

aries2756-thanks for all your great advice. You know, I wrote him a short note the other day, just telling him I love him, and goodnight. It was 2am and he wasn’t home, so I left it on his pillow. It’s what I would have wanted to say to him had he been home, before I went to bed. Then I forgot about it, until yesterday when he asked me for something I couldn’t give. He got so upset, and told me the note wasn’t true. This is what I have to contend with. We will always be imperfect, or worse yet, HORRIBLE parents in my son’s eyes. What do you make of this?
