Reply To: Treatment of teens off the derech

As a parent I don’t think your parents would hurt at all from a kiruv Shabbaton. Don’t they know about the therapist? Do they know about the abuse? Maybe I shouldn’t speak for mothers who are experiencing this but if it’s not too presumptious, as a mother I would be thrilled to see you getting involved in any authentic Jewish way, even if off the beaten track. And a lot of FFBs from fairly uncomplicated situations thrive on the so called kiruv Shabbatons. Just focus on doing what’s going to help you grow. That will give your parents nachas.
