Reply To: Going off the Derech

Imaofthree-you are right that there are worse tragedies in the Jewish world. But my life is a gehennom. Besides my son embarrassing us terribly on the Yom Tov by parading his ‘unorthodox’ behavior in front of our friends and neighbors, he is also doing it in front of our children, threatening to bring them all down. My husband has reached his limit with him, and the fighting/arguing between them was just too much for me this week. I feel sick from all the anger that pervades my home. And though I know other people may have things worse than me, I’m very afraid that things here could also get worse. I can’t tolerate my situation anymore, and am evaluating my options at this point…
