SilentOne, how are you?

MiddlePath:

Hi – what a pleasant suprise and honor to be asked about my wellbeing in the CR (and to have my “name” in the title of a thread!). Thank you very much. It is very much appreciated. B”H, I am keping in reasonable spirits; writing the Tefillos has given me a cause and the strength to hold up while I am going through a painfully long time trying to get a civil divorce after giving the Get 2 years ago.

Perhaps you might be able to give me some ideas about another Tefilla I wish to write – I was advised by my Rebbi Shlita to write a Tefilla to Daven on behalf parents of teens “at risk” (i.e teens living in the street and off the Derech etc.). Do you know where I can find material to learn about the pain and struggles of these parents, so that I can identify with their Tzuros and thereby try to find words for a Tefilla? The idea of such a Tefilla would be to ask HaKadosh Boruch Hu to give these parents the strength to endure in the interim and ultimately to “reclaim” their loved ones, having found their way back to live emotionally and spiritually healthy lives.

Thank you very much for your kindness.

Look at Rabbi Greenwalds article in Mishopacha entitled “could this be a parents wish” of 3 weeks ago and the special letters to the editor in the ensuing weeks. It is only the tip of the feelingberg.
