I have an older friend/relative (older then 30 but younger then 50) who seems like she doesn’t want to get married. Her family and friends seem to overlook it as “she just hasn’t found her bashert”. To a few of us it seems that she really has no interest. Her motto seems to be “My life ins’t bad now so why ruin it by settling for a marriage that would probably require me to settle on things”. How should this situation continue? Is there any way to alter her mindset?
to a concerned friend. i have the same issue with my son. he is 28 and not making a move. i feel there is a lot more to it then that. mordechai what can i do to discover what is really going on? is it my job or right?
There’s an adult I know for 8 yrs. now. They never (or so I thought) had any mental issues. At this point, the more Im with them, the more I realize that only professional help will do. I am not referring to a little child, but a 20 yr. old grown adult. As per my assumptions, they are suffering from ASD+ODD. I know that there’s no way for you to determine what it is by my decision, but this child will no way see a therapist. How can I help?
I have an older relative around 65 who I believe suffers from severe anxiety. He is a child of survivors, is this common? How can we help him? It severely impacts his life and relationships, yet I don’t think he would even entertain seeing a specialist.
thank you for a wonderful show. I have a sister whose husband suffers form mental illness. I don’t know the ins and outs of the situation, as she is a very quiet, private person in general. How do I and my sisters want to support her, but we don’t know how. Do we call often? Do we leave her alone? Do we offer babysitting and let them go away when we are unsure as to what the shalom bayis at home is?
