Reply To: Going off the Derech

“she couldnt get it past her that there are others who are going through the same thing as she is and that she is not the only one in this situation”

Do you really believe this??? Despite the past 6 months of connecting with other mothers on this thread that are going through something similar, I have also connected with mothers going through this over here. When you speak the way you do, I hear a lot of anger behind your words, as if you take everything I do/didn’t do personally. Perhaps it is you who are/were off the derech, and have a lot of unresolved anger.

As far as my son making decisions for himself, he was not a little child at the time. He was much older, and when he refused to switch schools, he actually had a valid reason for wanting to stay. So we let him, but we gave him the option of changing his mind if he wanted to. Hind sight is always 20-20, and YOU, of course, have the benefit of MY hindsight.

And my parents do know about my son. You are so wrong on all fronts, that I don’t have the time to refute all your distorted conclusions. Suffice it to say, since you have no real insight to offer, you really need not bother to post…
