Reply To: Parent of OTD child

Thanks to everyone who took the time to comment. I know each of you meant well, and I appreciate that.

A few comments: I don’t come to this discussion lightly – I have spoken to MANY REBBEIM, some who know our adult child (and us) VERY WELL, others who have experience dealing with this issue, in Israel and the US.
I have combed the internet looking for information, insights, things that we can do as parents besides LOVE OUR CHILD UNCONDITIONALLY. Don’t misunderstand, this is by far THE MOST IMPORTANT thing that we do and have done AND MAKE A POINT TO EXPRESS CLEARLY, OUT LOUD, as often as is appropriate. So, when I absolve myself of responsibility, I assure you I’m not copping out. Our adult child went to excellent orthodox schools where s/he got both a fine Judaic AND secular education.
