“what percentage of Chasidic OTD parents disown their children for becoming OTD (not simply going to college)?”
It isnt about disowning per se. and yes the tide might be turning.
I’m concerned I’m being unclear
My point isnt what would happen if a chassid left. Im wiling to bet, that any parent when faced with a choice of their son leaving their derech would rather they remain observant. But it isnt presented that way, its not like A kid tells his parents, ok Im going to Colege, do you still want me to keep Kosher and wear tefillin?
The question is what attitude they are receiving.
Chasidim are taught that their way is the only derech and other segments arent really observent.
The same way in our circles. It is rare for Yeshsihvish people to leave the fold and become Reform. People who leave generally leave completly.
Why is that? IF Yeshivish society is too “restrictive” just be Reform and go to Shul at least 3 days a year. It is because we dont view Reform as a “less restrictive” form of Judaism. ditto for chasidim and MO.
Again not all, and this isnt necessarily a message that is actively given.
