This is the next big problem for us, after acknowledging and helping the OTD. And the schools will have to be part of the solution for this. Ostracizing and ridiculing kids with OTD sibs shouldn’t be tolerated, and the schools have to educate and sensitize their students to be caring and supportive, not the opposite. And the staff, BTW, also must take the lead in showing caring and compassion in a dignified way to these kids, since the mechanchim are the models.
proudbyg: your brother probably knows you love him, and you should never let the taunting change that. Sometimes a loving sib can be a real lifeline for the OTD!!
