Single mother BT -3 years ago
I am a baalas Teshuvanow keeping shabbos, kashrus and everything else. My children’s father is a goy, unfortunately. We have shared custody, so every other week and Shabbos the kids are by him. By him they eat treife meat every day, and he makes sure they have treife meat daily at school when they’re by him. Of course by him there’s no shabbos or Yom Tov or anything else. I understand that this is the outcome of my terrible mistake and my ignorance in my upbringing, not seeing anything wrong with being with a goy at the time...I am trying my best to educate my children in Jewish spirit and with Torah and mitzvos, but they are being pulled between two opposites. How do I deal with this and how can I educate my children to be proud Jews themselves and want themselves not to eat treif. To want themselves to keep shabbos etc.?Thanks a lot.

Hi
How can I as a father properly understand my daughter and what she's going through and care for her, I sometimes feel like since I didn't grow up in the same situation that she will nebach grow up in so I can never really understand what she's going through...
I understand that many people give advice to constantly just plain shower her with love, which I do, and she loves spending her time with me. But what MORE can I do, to properly understand and feel her and then give in return. Thanks.

How do I balance being in court with a vile attorney/seemingly biased judge and keeping the proper perspectives of bitachon
