Spent the past 2 days trying to find a way to forgive myself for not picking up on the signs that my son was being terribly victimized in school by other kids. They broke him emotionally, as he tried so hard to fit in. He opened up to us this Shabbos, but basically feels that there is no hope for him. He sees himself as a freak, with no self esteem, not fitting in anywhere. I begged him to come to counseling, but he says he’s completely closed, and no one can reach him. Does anyone know of a good therapist for my child in Israel? I can’t find anyone with this type of expertise, who answers my calls, and who’d be willing to come to him? Is there no hope for my son, chas v’shalom?????
