You have lost a degree of freedom and independence, and it is difficult for you. Your parents are doing their best to protect you. You are right to be upset, but you please direct your feelings towards the true cause: those who choose to commit acts of violence against innocent people. They are the ones causing you to be restricted, not your parents, who are trying t keep you safe.
But also be encouraged. Chances are, the situation will calm down in time, and you will be back to riding your bike and being in charge of being on time for shacharis. In the meantime, you have my sympathy!
Most BT’s descend from families who immigrated before the war, and most FFB’s descend from those who immigrated after the war. The effects of the war on those families last until today. The abuse in yeshivas and many FFB homes is a result of the trauma inflicted by the nazis, yemach shemom. (To be fair, it is improving today. My husband said he was greeted every day to cheder with a potch, and today they give out candies – but I know for a fact that serious abuse still goes on.) It is generally better for a BT to marry a BT to avoid marrying a person who inherited “issues” from the war generation.
And if Hatzolah will be getting paid, I hope its EMTs will as well.
Does this mean Hatzolah will not take you if you have no insurance? Or will they bill the patient?
