    There is a cure for every disease. Taxol, a treatment for cancer, was found in the bark of a tree in the rainforest. Should we not use it.

    I had depression. I had been diagnosed with a cancer recurrence. Couldn’t get out of bed. Had no energy. I was faced with a year of weekly treatments and a month of radiation. BH, my oncologist is also a psychiatrist and was able to diagnose me.

    I stayed on Efexor for a few years. I don’t know what I would have done had I not been given that option.

    I agree with zahavasdad. In my parents generation, there were few divorces. One, was due to the husband straying, and another, abuse.. and the abuse couple were Catholic, which was unheard of. Now, if the couple is miserable, they can divorce because the wife is able to work.

    I have seen several former students divorce. The ones that divorced were married before she had an post seminary education and was literally pushed into marriage by the parents. The girls that are in a successful happy marriage have degrees and careers, maybe that is why it works.. more of an equal footing.

    I know many BTL grads who have issues in Grad School with writing skills, research skills, ect. They have needed to take some remedial classes.

    Shticky Guy– thats funny!!! I did not see any extra security which was what they wanted.. Lots of police… I was told there were snipers on the roofs… did not see them… And I did say some were nice..

    I’m confused… “Give your wife”? My dad gave my mom his paycheck and she gave him spending money….

    Assaf- Write a letter-by hand. Tell your parents how much you love and respect them. Describe some of your childhood memories~times when they were there for you.

    Tell them about the army. Tell them about your life in Israel. All of the good things serving all of the Jewish people has done. Then tell them that ag this point in your life you have made some choices they may not agree with….make sure they know this is not their fault…. they did not do anything wrong…..

    It must be handwritten and mailed….

    To the guy who said theIDF doesn’t pay for university…they do. You have to give them time back…

    First, so proud that you have reached out to this forum, your posts are being read by other terns

    in your situation, who for whatever reasons are not able to post.

    I know exactly what you are dealing with. My neice had the same situation with her mom. No one in her family believed her and her sister, (living in Israel at the time, ). She finally came to live with me which did cause problems in our family, and is now an educated, happy, engaged, young woman.

    It was not sn easy path for us, but she was stubborn and strong and insistant. She went thrum therapy and surrounded herself with people who were positive influences.

    I hope you can find an adult who can be supportive.
