  Very much appreciate your comment. I wish more people would pay attention to the fact that psychotropic drugs of any kind have ever been proven to work, and no one even understand how they truly work.  You can't do scientific testing on these things, it would be unethical to experiment on the minds of human beings, so they just make up whatever they want in order to push these poisons into people.  It gives people in the psychiatric profession the status of medical doctors (do some research, their drugs were created to compete with the success of pennicillin and other "miracle" drugs-but we now know that even antibiotics are causing problems). And bringing up suppressed memories has been debunked.  People can "remember" anything if drugged and coached enough.

  I'm glad you are admitting that it is fear making religious leaders flee from discussing the truth about sexuality.  Leaders are so afraid to tell the truth, so afraid of not pleasing the powers that be, that they are literally cowing before what they know is not what pleases HaShem, what they know ultimately harms the individual and eventually all of society.  Tanakh is full of the stories of the history of Israel, and what happens when we start to follow the nations instead of Torah.  I pray the leaders will start to step up and lovingly, courageously, bring forth what is true, instead of making excuses and trying to win the approval of the world. There is a time when you stop trying to please everyone, when you stop obsessing over everyone's "feelings" and care more about their soul.   If we seek the approval of HaShem above all other things, He will protect us.  Baruch HaShem.

  Everything you say  is very true. I've worked in the field, and the use of drugs is counter-healing.  But we have been trained, religious and non-religious, to practically worship anything that is called "science".  Much "science" is not science at all, but contrived theories and opinions to promote the agenda of whoever is paying for the "scientic results".  True science has a simple and basic proof model: accurately measurable results that can be repeated using very specific testing/experimental methods.  There is very little you can materially prove with this method, so scientists mostly rely on a convenient word to cover that fact.  They will say  "evidence", not "proof", over and over again, until we think "evidence" is enough.  Whatever they want to promote, they just say, "We have evidence to believe that so-and-so is so".  And everyone sits up and listens and believes and follows, not realizing not only are these conclusions biased, but "evidence" is not PROOF.  But again, we've been groomed to hear the word "science" or "scientist" and automatically believe whatever is coupled with that word.

  Hi

  Thanks for bringing up this most taboo topic...

  As as a spouse,wife, I can say.... The effects of being in a relationship where the husband is struggling...is terribly painful...the lack of openness...the fear to share...the effects of trauma...the shame of existence....the wife's deepest needs unmet....(and this is,when husband and wife are both in therapy trying to heal....)

  Thanks for saluting for the brave wives (who don't know other women in same situation)...for believing in their husbands and knowing again and again that this behaviors is not who they truly are..

  I'd love to hear more support for wives 

  Thanks again
