Reply To: Going off the Derech

daniela-you are right, and maybe I needed a strong dose of reality testing. But I’m not strong like you think. And I’m not so sure I’d be one of those who’d survive war. This is all still so new to me, and I guess I haven’t come to terms with it completely. Even though it started 3 months ago, it has evolved into something bigger, something I wasn’t really prepared for, nor do I have experience in knowing how to deal with it. I keep having dreams about it, and then waking up thinking it didn’t really happen, but then realizing it did. Maybe as time goes on, I’ll be able to get to the point you described. But unfortunately, I’m not there yet.

mom12-I know you are right, but if you knew how many hours/day my husband and I daven for this kid, you’d think the Yam Suf would split all over again. But, thank you for the reminder.
