My sister in laws boyfriend is ” ex charedi”, not not religious at all. He is divorced with 2 kids ( satmar) whom he has no contact with because he said that satmar believes if you are no longer frum, you aren’t Jewish. Does anyone know if that is a real chasidish concept because I can’t believe it. Anyway my sil told me that basically all his life growing up he had tons if questions. Questions about halachos and about things he didn’t understand in the Torah and that no one ever took the time to help him understand. He was shut up or yelled at when he questioned anything. His ex wife had some minor mental issues that apparently his parents knew about but still had him marry her. He is so far off the derech now and it makes me so sad. Not the fact that he eats treif and has no regard for shabbos, but that this did not have to be the way. Now c’v am I ever saying its you or anyone here’s fault for their child going OTD but I just wanted to share because I’m so sad over it. Not to mention the fact that slowly my sil is slipping farther away from keeping shabbos etc.
