Reply To: Going off the Derech

aries2756- I agree with this:

“The only thing you can do is love him unconditionally and teach yourself this is NOT about you. It isn’t personal and keep the rest of your life and family on an even keel. Make your home a happy one. Make it a place that is full of simcha and a pleasant place to visit. Maybe if there was less tension when he walks in he might give the family a little more time.”

As far as his room goes, we are trying to work out a solution. But I think we’d have to start with a few less rules, and work our way up.

Shkoyach-Thank for the suggestion. I did read Garden of Emunah and found it to be quite helpful. I’m sure the other books are good too.
