A natural solution is fenugreek.It smells horrible but it works.

….and the verdict is: I’m letting them go.Most (real life as well!)agree it won’t do harm,anyway.

Follow your dreams,but you can’t always plan the CONTEXT in which they are meant to develop.

Ex.I thought I will always have an open house as a married person.Turns out,people like to visit us…anyway.Get it?

Since tznius directly protects your body,think of it as an advertised beauty solution to “beautiful forever”.Many honest people have admitted that the parts of their guf they were most careful with “survived” the longest.Can’t explain more on a public forum.

Kapusta…you are not going to believe this ,but your tefilos must have gone straight to Shomayim,together with my own daughter’s tears for herself.She had such a yeshuah today…I could cry from joy.

I hope her sincere inspiration and very specific plans are successful,and she is grateful and relieved that I am behind her all the way.

THANK YOU,HASHEM!!

By the way,I had no idea what a hookah bar was until a few years ago…I still can’t stand the whole idea.They should close them all down wherever they are!

Health–I know what you mean,but in this case it was the extreme lack of supervision and the total absence of compromise that sent them to the Avenue scenes in the first place.So the OTD went hand-in-hand with the crazy hours,hookah bars and the OTD boys.Get the scenario?Boruch Hashem,they knew better than to get involved with the heavy drug scene,because as I said before,we have a dear relative who got messed up by that and they saw it.

Aries and everyone…believe it or not I was actually able to deal with my daughter patiently today because I got support– just as I was running out of it!

So thanks.

And you can’t imagine how annoying I make it for myself…unplug computer,put it away,take it out again…but I think it was worth it today.

A true professional would never stoop to that level WITHOUT ONCE HAVING MET THE PERSON THEY’VE TRASHED.

I agree,it just hurts when they blame the one who truly cared,because the other one skillfully shifted the spotlight.

A perfect parent no one can claim to be,but a compassionate and devoted parent should not be trashed based ONLY on “hearsay” OF AN ESTRANGED SPOUSE.

PBA…therapists often blame the parents.At least that’s what I’ve seen.Of course, expecting perfection from any human being is not good.It can drive a person crazy.

living with exclusively for the last 5 years.

Ever since I read (Hamodia’s) Joel Rebibo’s Profiles of those brave souls who were “only” injured,I have learned that sometimes living on with serious injuries can be harder than passing away.

1.Our washroom is so tiny,by us it means someone knocked it off the sink into the…eau de toilette,shall we say? So I’d use Listerine that morning and go buy myself a new toothbrush!

2.I’d keep the toe-part curled under the whole time and throw that sock/stocking out the minute I got home.

3.I’d keep staring intently at the bentcher,but no pretending.

Ok,who thinks these questions should be on every shidduch resume?

That was for you,cshapiro.I’m GOING OUT WITH THE KIDS SOON!

Poppa–I must give you credit,I also thought that’s what you were gonna say,and was surprised to see a thoughtful and supportive post instead! I realized right afterwards it’s really “Papa Bear”,not “Poppa”!!

I know and understand that “hurt people hurt people”,but nowhere in Chazal are there excuses for it.

IT’S A GOOD THOUGHT FOR GIVING OTHERS THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT,but for one’s own self, one should strive to graduate from victim to survivor to conqueror/trailblazer.

Aries,we had a few discussions on that subject,but that is one of the main reasons I worry and can’t sleep properly.

I believe in POURING LOVE into kids,trust me.

And you all gave me lots of useful advice.

I just can’t relate at all to the (probably unintentional) inconsiderateness and rudeness that is part of this package.

I put abuse behind me….but it keeps creeping back.

I hope and pray that drugs are not in the picture.

I have a very dear relative who literally ruined his life that way.His thought processes are permanently distorted.I know my kids loved that relative and saw exactly what happened to him.

I hope that’s a tangible enough deterrent,but boys-at-risk can get these girls-at-risk to do a lot of harmful things.

All I have in my head are the carelessly tossed out insults, and knowing that one out of every ten statements is even half-true.I guess I look like I was born yesterday.And I slept one grand hour last night,before waking up my boys for school.

Again,I am NOT asking for any more advice,just venting from U.L.B.O.–that stands for unconditional love burn-out.

Unless you’ve been there,especially when someone ELSE’S hypocrisy turned your child off in the first place,it’s hard to describe the many different feelings involved.

Well,another night’s sleep just got shot.It’s 3:00 a.m. and she just left…I haven’t slept properly in weeks.And no,there isn’t a single ground rule that can be enforced,at this time.You’ll have to trust me on that one.I’m not asking any more advice,just posting because I don’t feel up to housework at 3 a.m. and the sheer self-absorbtion of these teens is not to be believed.

Love,caring,consideration,it’s a one way street…and it’s insane.

Wolf…I understand that since you don’t know all that took place,you are advising based on the limited details I’ve shared.Apology accepted!

But again,I’m NOT the weapon/threat/revenge type AT ALL.
