Yehudis, this is beautiful and painful. We are so blessed to have such wonderful children. May we continue to grow and change. Avi Fishoff teaches that G-d's way is the “emotional, mental and physical safety" of children. Many people are misguided or unaware of what authentic Judaism says about raising children. Keep writing and sharing. You will change the world one story at a time.

This is 100% true Ester. Yehudis, when you reveal your insides you help people grow. And heal. Your insides belong on the outside.

Your father is a tremendous man and it takes incredible awareness to to look at your way of being and contemplate a change. It takes courage to undertake the change. And transform yourself one day at a time. This might be one of the greatest gifts he has given you.

Gosh this was so wonderful to read. My lived experiences are so different from yours and yet I couldn’t stop nodding my head at all the things I understood and the ways I could relate, which… isn’t that just what makes beautiful writing so beautiful and special?! Thank you so much for this 💖 I feel so connected

Such an incredible gesture for your dad to come to Paris. And also makes a lot of sense for you to feel guarded. I couldn’t help but wonder… will he read this?
