    SA not to take a side and defend but after Chaim wolder...

    Alot of monster are crowling back in to there cave but there still exist and most were victims also and the were they became the monster...

    Were do u turn to when u ask your therapist and the first thing they say is think before u sapeek I might have to report u...

    In Israel there שלום בניך how many people know of them 

    In America is there something like that were there really trying

    And even more so how much Dos it take to finally man up to it and all both side of the fence u being judge

    I'm not saying he is right and he is wrong and I'm not playing down victims G-d forbid

    Brief background

Machzir gerushasi by 21... learned in Kollel by Rav Yisrael Gustman and receive "smicha" ish. went into kiruv and chinuch by Ohr Samayach and eventually opened up Beis Medrash Yeshiva in Great Neck, LI. 1991. Was Rosh Yeshiva of 60-70 bochurim until 1998. With 5 children, I then went into business (investment banking) and made Aliyah in 2002. Contiuing my business until 2016... experienced several harsh years with children and sholom bayis which ended ultimately in divorce. I am now learning full time again which gives me a tremendous amount of nechama and chiyus.... but there is deep sadness...

     

    My childhood and teenage years were ravaged by an assortment of abusive experiences.... I have never looked back, but i know that if I did I would see that peckle settled between my shoulders...

     

    What do you say? Is it time to just let go of it?
