    The main issue is that the liquid level in tomatoes is too high. To compensate, companies add in garlic, sugar etc.
    Cut half a kg of tomatoes into 10-12 pieces. Leave it in a sieve for 90 mins (put a plate underneath to see how much drips out).
    Place in a container, add:
    1 tablespoon of tomato puree
    1 tablespoon oil
    1 teaspoon lemon juice
    1/2 teaspoon salt (different for everyone so adjust accordingly)
    1/4 teaspoon black pepper
    A shake or 2 of chilli powder (according to your taste)
    Blend LIGHTLY, if you bend too much it turns to liquid.

    The brochos go in order of being m’chuyov more mizvos and thus being able to earn more s’char. A Goy has only 7, a slave has the same as a woman minus a few obvious ones and then is the woman.

    A lady says sheosani kirtzoino. This isn’t a ‘replacement’ blessing – it’s a brocho that she is able to fulfil her life’s tachlis which is keeping the mitzvos of a woman.

    It is an issue min hatorah to neuter an animal or even to get it neutered in your behalf. You can purchase one that has been neutered already. Regarding selling your animal to a non-Jew and he having it neutered and then purchasing it back, ask your local Rabbi.

    You are amazing for coming out with your story.
    Addictions are from the brain and are extremely difficult to overcome. You have done very well.
    There are a choice of therapies to help you with this. It requires professional intervention from an experienced therapist. It is paramount that you meet one. Just locking up your money is a good start but doesn’t solve the underlying issue. You don’t need to worry about meeting a professional, they are required to keep everything confidential by law and are highly trained in this regard.
    Good luck.

    Serious dilemmas such as this is a reason why one should always have a close shayches with a Rov/Da’as Torah.

    The most important thing is to ALWAYS show your love and respect for the child. Don’t ever kick the child out of the house except in the most severe cases which you should not decide yourself.

    The only time you should break off contact (never completely) with a child is if they intermarry (with a proper civil wedding). However even in such cases you should still ask.

    It’s 2 questions. Before marriage and after.
    Before marriage you should use your rov/madrich to guide you.
    After marriage you should continue with the same.

    One golden rule: make sure you both get enough sleep. Problems happen when you can’t think properly.
