Reply To: Going off the Derech

Syag Lchochma-you made me laugh! So nice of you to invite me to your neighborhood. Perhaps there is more acceptance in NY than there is over here. In general, most religious neighborhoods do not react sympathetically to families going through this, there is much fear and I don’t think anyone really looks at a kid OTD with sympathy, knowing that they are suffering. I know that you are right about Hashem’s derech, and I will try to remember your words the next time I am confronted with prejudice or insensitivity.
