Reply To: Keeping Mental Illness A Secret In Shidduchim🤕 🤒🤐👰🤵

As a Daughter of a father with mental illness.
I do want to say I always felt bad for my mother that she doesn’t have a normal marriage.my aunts did once disclose to me between the lines….that my father’s parent’s asked a certain rebbe and he said it was okay to disclose the illness…I sometimes wonder where is this reebbe now when my mother is struggling. And we kids didn’t have it ez too at times. But bh we grew up healthy kids…I always think must be someone’s teffillios. Were all at the point of getting married and were bh having nice families of our own. “The one to pity is my mom” (I sometimes look at her like a living almana)
(needless to say my father couldn’t keep a job down…and my mother needed to take over and is running a very busy shop…. with my father’s family being pretty well to do….I don’t remember last when they offered any help) at least that if your marring off such a good…make things easier.
