Reply To: Going off the Derech

aries2756-He told me that he got this feeling from school, when the kids used to make fun of him. The chevra he’s with now makes him feel great and accepted, no matter what. Yet even though I love him, and tell him constantly, and show it constantly, it doesn’t seem to penetrate bc ‘I’m the mother and that’s why I’m saying it’.

The kids do talk about the army, and he’s being called for an interview. Originally he wasn’t against it, and planned to go. But now he seems to be eager to continue with his learning, and doesn’t want the disruption, so who knows?
