  The moment you feel you're breaking down, is the moment you're breaking through. Appliea to the birth process as well.

  I know how this boy feels, and his email is so powerfull. Hashem loves us, He does, and we cant understand but we still need comfort, and a listening ear, because as much as we learn to heal, and go on, there is always this child in me who is missing a healthy, stable, loving, foundation

  Dear M. Rabbi Jacobson
  I just watched your video about the text that you had read about the boy who has been Abused....
  Thank you SO much for your speech and what you did and said.
  It happened to me too when I was young (between 4 and 10 years old by my father's cousin), and hearing a man, especially a Rabbi acknowledging the fact that it's pain, not drama at all to mourn all of this... is deeply relieving...
  I would have finish by,
  "I wish I could Love myself as much as Hashem does..."
  Thank you.
  Our community needs also to speak up about those subjects and clean our own pervert system...
  You are now one of the resourceful person in my path.
  Thank you.

  I heard your shiur about the boy who wrote his personal tishabav letter. And I want to say that unless you have been the victim of abuse or a massive nisayon you will never understand. So how do you Rabbi YY say you understand he’s not being dramatic ? You can’t possibly feel the feelings we deal with. So if it’s because you c'v had the same happen to you, I want to tell you that I daven you should recover fully. I’m still on my journey of pain. And your shiurim are a huge help. And people think I just have classic depression and have no idea what is really happening. But that boy’s letter said it alll. I hope it continues to strengthen people.
