successes on his calendar Hashem
he's going to be very brave I hope and I
believe tonight to share a personal
painful story with tens of thousands of

and that's why he's here tonight so
what's going on Mr Miller
and without further ado
I would like to thank you for the
opportunity

pain I would call it maybe painely not
painful because there's a lot of joy as
well when you see what you can
accomplish what you can do and how you
can turn things around there's really a
lot of joy and a lot to be happy about
Hassam I'm happy I'm a happy person and
I'm trying to put the smile on other
people's faces as well
I share my story a lot and I go out and
I talk to people

think shame making people smile is a new
DNA right
yes fortunately yes I know I don't know
if any one of you heard the name Miller
ever nah is it Sam Miller
I always say I'm from the rabuna similar
yes so Isaac's father is a very special
Miller
a very famous the
udon person
so for them to put smiles on people's
faces is everyday occurrence
but today let's see how we can put a
smile how we can gift wrap this story
so let me hear what happened in short
because I I asked some of it my
interview is why are you here today
can you answer that
sure
I don't think that it's a hard question
at all
when I share a little bit of my story
I'm first always make a disclaimer I'm
sharing a story I'm not here as a
professional and I don't want anyone to
view me as one
I'm not giving advice and I'm not
telling anyone what to do I'm just
saying what happened to me and my family
and how we I believe very successfully
got to where we are and our hopes are
high that we
we know that we're seeing the light at
the end of the tunnel and we're gonna
get to the end of the tunnel we'll get
out we'll get outside
so I can say
uh
like every typical person
I grew up
and visit in monthly I was born raised
over there
I grew up as a vision to hold it
I got married over there I lived over
there I raised my children there
I started marrying golf my kids while I
lived over there my whole life was in
the circle in that bubble a vision
succeeded
and in our days we
live and we see many kids who struggle
and it is only normal to try to be
judgmental and in most cases we judge
the parents we look at the family as a
failing family
even if only one child of 10 or one
child of more
we still look at somehow they failed
we try to find it even and the easiest
reason the easiest person to Target at
all with the family
so as all of us I Was the Same
I was a typical person I know exactly
why every kid is struggling and how the
parents are to blame one parent was too
strict the other one was too soft
it was almost easy going one was hard
going but you know there was always and
I knew exactly why it happened
everything was lined up all the excuses
yes not exclusive the reason there is
reasons and it all went well till it
happened to me
and in the beginning I would say
I would admit I was judgmental on myself
too where did I go wrong and I was
focused on that where did I go wrong
what did I do bad
why did it happen to me
must be my fault I didn't know if I
should blame myself or my wife maybe
so automatically things started getting
very tense at home I always I started
feeling insecure in everything I did
because maybe I'm going going too hard
too soft I should I should not but all
the rest of the kids I lost my
confidence
and the same thing I didn't know for
sure if it's maybe my wife's fault and I
said blame her when we did it started
the
the ripple effect of this was huge it
was unbearable and it had a very very
bad impact on the whole house
automatically and I whoever I talked to
it's only normal people it happens to I
had an effect on the house
and
one of the things that I started feeling
was I started feeling guilty for
everybody so first I felt guilty of
course from my own kids then I felt
guilty
for my neighbors their kids are going to
have such a kid in their neighborhood
and I felt guilty for the family they're
gonna have to live insane
and they're going to be embarrassed
my parents my wife's parents my own
brothers and sisters and siblings my
wives
and I didn't know where this is taking
me so I was like lost I was in a dark
and nervous I didn't sleep for nights I
was worried
and that and on top of that I was also
worried about my own child my kid that's
struggling when it's all started to
unravel
it was a very bad situation tough
situation when I realized what's going
on the only thing I saw was that she
disappeared night after night I had no
clue where she is
I would I would not go out of my house
at night and walk anywhere
night late at night I'm that type of a
person who stays home I wouldn't walk
around and wander on streets and when I
found out later where she was at the
other end of town without being scared
she was a young girl
how old she was even was really started
investing I think 14 15 really young
yeah so I realized there's two things
that's going on
she got herself some pants
I found it under her pillow and I
started looking after her so my focus
was I was so
I can say
focus on the wrong thing all together I
was focusing on how to
put boundaries and what can I do to get
it back on track and how I can make it
happen and how quick not only control
but how quick I can do it I knew that
the trick is the quicker I do it the
less shame I'll have the less before it
goes down the street I didn't want the
street to know little did I know that
before I even know everyone let's do it
they thought many people that I meet
today they're busy you know about the
neighbors and about the neighborhood
they shouldn't find out they all know
before you know it they know it
and I was trying to protect my my
dignity my family my reputation I felt
everything is on the line so really it's
a very it's a very difficult balance to
to game to play because on one hand you
do have feelings for your own kids for
the other kids and you want you do want
to protect your kids they are your kids
you don't know what's good for them you
don't know what's not good for them you
have your wife forever yourself let's
not talk a little the extended family
but you only me your own immediate
family that sit with you every day by
the side with the dinner table a Shabbos
dish
um you feel very bad for them right and
you also separately are starting to
learn that you're feeling bad for your
daughter also
so how do you really juggle between
these two these two feelings it's it's
not a simple task that you get a book a
manual how to deal with it first of all
I realized that by being this nervous
and by being worried so much and by
trying to control the situation I'm only
harming up my entire family
I was the calm person a normal person
and suddenly I became that nervous
father
without any patience to anyone skeptical
and with no confidence and I didn't know
what to answer I was always my mind was
flying around and worried and worrying
and I couldn't concentrate when the kids
were talking to me I realized that in an
effort to try to control the situation
I'm losing the situation
so it's not a matter big people think
that you can control the situation by in
any way that means there's no such a
thing you have to let it go a little
like what's how can you okay so it
brought this stuff yourself from wanting
to control right so when I realized that
I always say today when I look back and
people tell me
you're enabling right this is a very
popular word became the word enabling
and I always say
you can use what is the opposite word of
enabling disabling disabling can you
disable
no you don't control situation anyways
so it's not called enabling when you
don't when you can't disable when you
can control it when you realize that
it's anyways not in your your control
and it's not in your hands
you don't do anything different to let
when you let go it's not even called let
go that's when you take instead of
trying to take the situation
and control the situation you control
yourself
that's all it is self-control and stay
focused on what you're trying to
accomplish where are you heading what do
you want to do where do you want to get
so I want to roll it back a little bit
because
unfortunately it became very rampant and
unfortunately we see it in so many
families
is there like a certain time or incident
or situation that you were able to you
can pinpoint today and say this caused
it
these are the signals that you have to
watch from like
when when Looking Back Now I want to
hear soon about your your relationship
with your daughter these days and those
days but
how's the sugar what should parents look
look out for
when they have Muslim are facing similar
situations starting to unravel in
general once you see that
what your kid is doing things
not the way all the rest of the family
does it and not the way you raise them
and it doesn't make any sense what
they're doing
that's when they realize that you could
you should realize that the kid must be
in a bad place I would call it
when I say a bad place it means that
they are broken
for whatever it would eat in one or the
other and it's irrelevant
but to once they're broken I always say
it had nothing to do with ye described
goya's guide it has to do with the
person
that there's a person over there
and
a broken person is not a person when
you're dealing with a kid that is broken
then don't they can't control you they
cannot do anything they're unable
they're broken
like a broken car cannot be on the road
it's broken and once you realize that
you come to realization with the fact
with the situation and you live with
that situation you realize that the only
thing you can control is yourself you
were saying that if you see
unconventional moves and all kind of
if things don't make sense
then you really like you should realize
I I realized that it's not in her
control and it's not something that she
does intentionally
now it's in my own hands
if I should
make it more complicated for her and for
me or make it easier for her and for me
and it's going to make like life much
simpler what I mean by that is a few
things
number one
I'll do whatever it takes to remove
spite
if spite is in play then it just becomes
worse it unravels right just despite me
yeah so what I had for instance now I
have very open conversations with my
daughter and she recently repeated the
message said that in the beginning of
her journey
she started she always used to speak to
me in the addition to my wife in English
if girls do it's very common and I was
okay with that but when things started
to unravel I moved back and I was trying
to take the situation
and make it even stricter a stricter
rule I'm gonna bend it the other way
this is how I'm gonna take control so I
said from now on on you cannot even talk
to Mommy in English anymore
and what do you think happened
started talking to me in English and she
wouldn't talk to me anymore near this
nothing would make her talk to me in
Yiddish and recently she'd repeat it to
me that thought he should remember that
so you can see what spite does
right
she could she was not ready to take over
there she couldn't
she couldn't tolerate any structure or
anything this is what they can't when
they're broken they cannot so you can do
whatever you want you can kill them
and then it won't change
so there's a few things that he must
remove that I felt I must remove and
again I go back I'm not saying you I'm
saying me but I'm sure it took a long
time for you to become who you are today
from taking going away from all the
spikes and becoming
and all it took was and my main thing
was not to lose focus and it is still
today so now it's easy it goes
automatically my focus is like this and
it automatically any situation then
comes up by instinct
it's about her and not about me it and
and I can tell you this much that it
made me a better father
to all my kids my older kids always tell
me that they wish I was this kind of a
father when they grew up wow because to
all my younger kids and it's not only if
you take this kid and by her you make
her an exception it's going to make the
other kids jealous and it could affect
them no
change yourself
and know us and it's a new me and it's
all about my kids so whatever she needs
I'm for that and whatever another kid
needs even in a normal situation and the
way I was before I wouldn't give in so
easily stuff I am make trying all I can
to make sure they feel that my my
devoted to them and I want to make their
life as good as I can and we're not
talking about
I'm talking about taking them to a
freedom store and spending time with
them so even in a forum store I let them
roam around and buy books it costs a lot
of money but books they enjoy I'm
talking comic books and for one kid that
likes to see this forum I would spend
money on that games toys
they are number one they're number one
for me in life and it changed a lot and
the other thing that I did was
that I realized is
if a person doesn't have a friend they
rather die
so I realized that a lot of kids I I'll
go back a little bit to humor I always
say that people are scared about other
kids they start to worry and why is that
you have to understand them though
people who don't have the experience
this is really the biggest scare I know
so but I and I'm not judgmental today to
anyone right even to people that judge
me I'm not judgmental to them because I
know that I was that person before I was
the normal person I'm no longer normal
and I don't expect anyone to look at me
as normal and I'm fine with that so I
don't mind if people judge me at all
and
so one of the things is I always say
that
why is it when the first kid struggles
the parents are blamed this is normal we
blame the parents if a second kid
struggles no one would think that the
same thing that called the first kid to
struggle maybe it was some kind of MLS
there or it was someone else in any
other way of abuse that did the same
thing to the second child no but the
second child they will blame the first
child
so what happened
so people will say right he kept him in
the house and this kid brought down the
next kid and I always turned to them and
I say so you can explain to me why it
happened to the first kid the first kid
didn't have a sibling before and it
still happened I was gonna ask you if
there is a
it is a certain explanation any
explanation why it happens to one
particular kid versus other kids in the
family
the same thing goes in in physical
health
if they have two brothers same family
grew up together and
both smoke one of them gets cancer dies
and the other brother or sister smokes
heavy same and lifts to the 90. what
does that tell you
so it doesn't tell you that smoking is
healthy definitely not but it tells you
that one person can be built better
better or better genes or something that
made them be able to tolerate the smoke
right and the same thing goes over here
it could be two people can be as equally
abused or bullied or whatever it takes
to cause trauma one person can tolerate
better trauma than another
so there's no General like you always
compare it to health situations right
every doctor or any sickness any organ
cardiologist no people no no doctor
would treat two patients alike every
person according to his abilities
according to his strengths according to
his weaknesses the same goes with kids
the same can goes with comes from
spirituality one person can take abuse
and go on with life and another person
cannot
may I ask you a question but you can
tell me to back off
you think you by now know maybe what
triggered this particular kid to be
different than her siblings a particular
event or a happening that happened
very sadly I have a another only a
feeling I have more than a feelings you
when we became close and she became
close and open and wasn't scared to talk
she
[Music]
basically
did Express to my wife what what caused
it
I'm sure it's unpleasant and I don't
think that here is the place I don't
want to make it very painful details I'm
I'm shaken as is anyway but I can tell
you one thing
at a certain point
when she was open with us and we had
started happening having open
conversations even today it's not a
problem and we can have any kind of
conversation it's not a problem nothing
is sensitive
and she she revealed to my wife that
when she was
12 years old she couldn't sleep through
the night
she had problems staying sleep she had
nightmares from what happened to her and
she couldn't sleep through the night but
she wanted to she was trying she was
struggling to be able to go to school
so you know what she did she was 12
years old she used to go downstairs
and I had some place where I had kept my
wish vodka she would go down and get
drunken up
night after night and she fell asleep
with vodka or this is very painful but
Whiskey A young innocent child and it
shouldn't be that way so when now when I
look back I feel only sorry for her that
this is what she went through this is so
painful this is what it took her to fall
asleep I can blame anything I can blame
her on anything I should only go to what
I what I did the way I turned it out the
way I realized it
was just Mama's every day
realize open your eyes it might not be
pleasant to look you to look at your
problem to face your problems and to
deal with it it's not always pleasant
but you have to do it this is our
struggle in life to face your problems
and deal with it accordingly now
there's a if you can stay focused on
what where you're trying to get and what
you're looking to accomplish and don't
look at any side matters
[Music]
you can be very successful and when I
say side matters I mean even myself I
own ego my own dignity I have to let go
of that
and it evolves very much and if you
think deeply into a lot of things that
people do it's about saving their faith
their own faith into this world for sure
and it's normal it's a normal Instinct
of a person
it became worse in the past 20 30 years
people today do many things
for themselves they don't take in
consideration the the true meaning and
the true good of the person they are
representing supposedly because it's
such a world today
I'm sure to to disconnect yourself you
go to Shield you go to you go to work
you meet your siblings you meet your
family meet everybody and and everybody
is pointing rolling their eyes
even if she's if the kid is not there if
the kid is there especially when the kid
is there but I'm sure it's it's till he
became a routine
to disconnect the feelings from all the
outside cameras and photographers and
and analyzes I'm sure it was a very very
big struggle it's probably one of the
hardest struggles in in the game in this
in this at the beginning yeah in the
beginning I was like in a cave in my own
world I wasn't sharing anything with
anyone
and until I was approached by neighbors
who probably meant well
um but what were they looking for the
job the cemetery is is paved with the
road of many people who meant well
exactly but I can I see I'm not
judgmental against them as well because
what they believed and they scared they
say that they're scared for their own
kids they're going to bring down the
neighborhood and it can ruin their kids
I'm not so sure that this is really what
they escape but it's an instinct people
think oh this is going to represent our
neighborhood this is how the
neighborhood was going to start and look
I don't want it in my neighborhood and
people get all excited by it and I don't
blame them perhaps it means that some
people think the opposite they said oh
now my kids can see what what they
should they should not look like
if a girl's house or shouldn't wearing
pants or boys wearing it or not wearing
a couple or this and that so some people
sell the chick that the kids you see him
or her don't be like him or her I can
tell you one thing that in the beginning
when my daughter dropped out of school
someone asked my younger daughter who
was only nine at that time I'm afraid to
him and it's very simple that's a simple
question are you jealous at your sister
that she doesn't have to go to school
and she gets away with anything so are
you jealous of her and she answered no
and when the person I didn't tell her
anything when the person asked her why
and you know how well she she answered
and this is what kids read like another
one you don't have to explain anything
she said because my sister is not happy
nine-year-old a nine-year-old and she
said I see she's not happy
no one
looks to follow that there's no such a
thing that one
I can only say one thing
if
this kid if you try to control the
situation what happened what ends up
happening is that this kid feels
isolated
and because they can't follow rules they
can't follow anything so every day it's
about them and they're targeted another
fight and they go back and forth and
tension around them they feel they start
feeling isolated now if a kid once a kid
feels isolated as I said before or
the kids need the kid needs someone on
their side
so one of the one of the kids like like
this going to do trying to pull one
other kid of the family to be with them
someone should understand me someone
should be my friends
for sure it's not gonna be my parents
it's not the whole family let me please
get someone on my side and this is when
probably some people might pull other
kids together together with them but if
you stop that and you present about them
and you focus on that
and there is no spite this is the first
thing that flies out the window there is
no dirty talking no cursing screaming
you know screaming no yelling there's
calmness in the house automatically it
brings a new atmosphere a new and they
and and there's no thing my side her
side so she has no need to pull someone
but she's equally as everyone as is one
small announcement
many of you had the issue that you could
not watch the podcast on a
filtered phone and I really admire the
people who took Upon take upon
themselves to
have a kosher phone and
stick to it
so we just made big upgrades to our
website let's talk tacos.com
and you're going to be able to watch
directly
the interviews without going through
YouTube
enjoy and let's continue
first stage a person has a showroom
starts to realize
where does it go Das
how does it know how to start going to
professionals I know you have you had
you have a rabbit you had a
New Life
and and
not it's not an easy situation for any
rabbit to control today unfortunately
it's becoming more and more um common
unfortunately
but like
what do you do like boom a ton of bricks
fell on my head what do you do
one thing that we must realize
is when you look in Arabic
you don't find any hello situation
so really go back and say the word
I don't think there is anywhere in the
halucha something to refer to yeah but
that's where we believe has special
maybe you had a story with one maybe you
went to one of your best one of you
people that that had a certain opinion
about this situation of how you should
handle it and was it successful was it
not like I'm sure I'm sure you didn't go
on your honor with this thing well of
course from the beginning and as I said
before I'm a vision for horses and I
went to the division of monsie I was
Hitler said and it all started and I
realized that I'm going wrong it didn't
take me long to realize that I'm going
wrong and I and I someone mentioned to
me about it man a guy very famous today
Avi fishov and I was considering maybe
going to him and at the beginning I was
fighting the idea myself and I was
saying this is crazy this is stupid this
is the worst thing I can do to my house
to let my kid do whatever she wants it's
going to ruin my house it's all
speculation now I'm thinking back it's
all Theory speculation there's nothing
really to establish it but this is how
people think they because it goes back
to a person when he feels that he loses
control so he automatically if I'm gonna
lose if I'm not even going to be in
control it automatically means that the
whole house is going to go it could be
ruined and it's not
when you don't I think you have this
many and they go I'm going back to to a
physical thickness in physical thickness
you can see you cannot control the
situation you do What actors tell you
what professionals tell you but you
can't control it that you have for the
rest and you hope for the best and same
thing goes here
I'm sure a lot of Tears went oh I was
rolling in the middle of family in the
beginning it was
I couldn't face anyone I couldn't look
anyone in the eye I was crying through
night it was not an easy me my wife we
lost a lot short this was nights of
sleep and weeks of we didn't eat we
didn't how long is this Saga taking
place really so it started 12 years ago
yeah
yeah we are where we are from the
beginning when I was introduced to such
a kind of a Mahala instead of pushing
away
right and and that some guy we fish off
instead of pushing away your brain learn
your Embrace and you learn what your
child is going through with trying to
explain it to you so you live with what
your child is going through the
struggles of your child and you struggle
with your child together so you really
can Embrace and you can really
be in their bubble in their world you're
gonna relate to them much better and
build your relationship and build them
up from the ground up
and when I was introduced to that Mahala
khalili thought that this is crazy and I
couldn't round my head or I couldn't
wrap my head my head around it so it
created
idea advice so but when I started
realizing that
what I'm doing is wrong
[Music]
my signature an email I always write
under my signature I will write my
slogan life is all about how you handle
Plan B
because this is what it is and I always
well said yeah people that go to
Aviation no one comes their first choice
everybody tries first to control the
situation so nobody should think that
people that go to him are the people
that have normal situations and they
choose rather than controlling their
situation
so organized it's so planned yeah and no
it's the people that tried people that
failed and when they realized that
they're really going bad from bad to
worse and they want to open their eyes
and face their dilemma and deal with it
that's when they realize there is no
other way so I went to the river and I
told them about it that my daughter is
struggling and he was crying together
with me I went over to critical it
wasn't pleasant the level was literally
crying with me
and it was like frantic what's going on
and then I told them that I learned
recently there's a new asking on the
black his name is Avi fishov who was the
devil's opinion generally about such
kids in the beginning I guess
I I can't say that he had a general
opinion because I hear so many stories
versions yeah evidence itself how one
person they told this way one person
another way and a lot of it I guess
that's right whatever the way a question
was asked because we know people go to
whatever for business questions and many
times we hear stories of people they got
the answer they were looking for so for
people that the situation of dealing
with such a kid is tough on them and
they think that by throwing out the kid
they will get rid of the problem
right they will release them from the
problem they'll go to the river and ask
it in such a way that the neighbor
should say throw them out of the house
so when when a person looks at a
situation like something that is going
to ruin its whole house it's going to
ruin the whole family because this is
what he anticipates and he goes
yeah and he goes to the lab and he tells
them I have a kid that is ruining my
whole house that's going on in the house
cursing and whatnot and of course
whatever would say you know if it's
ruining you all have whatever might say
get rid of the kid it's ruining your
house you can't let other kids fall
because of this kid
my humble opinion but I wasn't there
when other people asked I can say that I
was there once when I asked about one
another of my child my children
and I I was had a child that was also
like a little bit struggling but not as
bad as not as hard as this one but also
struggling and I couldn't take it and it
wasn't hard on me and I said to the
neighbor I'm thinking of sending this
child away and the driver said what
was angry at me what are you talking
about
and I said I can't handle him
and this was after before the story
before before and I told that ever and I
said but the driver told this and this
person to send away his child they ever
told me you want to compare your child
to that what are you doing
so it wasn't a and I so then I realized
you know it might be also that other
parent
asked the question different I don't
know I wasn't there but when I had a a
company please tell me this this child
is doing okay today the thing is
Living With a Purpose with a vision on
the future and talking about the future
I'll get to it and hopefully uh soon but
the way it looked in the beginning there
was no talk of a future no I could not
ever be brought up something about a
future she never wanted to hear about
get Ever Getting Married ever building a
house ever discussing having children
and now it's all about that
person that believed that she had a
future and can build a house
has a lot of confidence
so I can say that we build up our kid
from ground up and both of them she's
today she had a sense of humor and a
generic
or goes viral yeah not dumb and she lost
weight she is of drugs for the past it's
almost two and a half years already she
went once to rehab and I can say one
thing that I can share this is not if
you realize that he cannot control
anything nothing you can control some
people I know that pushed their children
to go to a rehab or to go to even this
even though
how did it happen she asked for it yeah
wow
I think
I think this is the bombshell of this
particle of this interview
if if the viewers have let's talk less
heard now something that the child
that struggles so much and went through
such pain such ups and downs such Lonely
Nights such
so much friction in the family came to a
point of saying she wants to be
helped with with uh with the drugs I
think this is the biggest the biggest
encouragement for suffering for families
and people are parents and stuff are wow
so in the beginning I think he can go
home really
[Music]
in the beginning it was all about
whiskey and vodka she used to get drink
drunk this was normal and related to
revealed that this is what she used to
fall asleep and she used to get drunk
beer everything alcohol she used to like
drink like no tomorrow
and she later got it off by herself when
we
you know we started building up and she
got rid of that on her own but
unfortunately it changed the drugs it
started with weed and I went on to much
much harder stuff
got out of it
and now it's already probably a year or
so that she also quit smoking wow
and when she decided now she's so strong
that when she decided to quit smoking
she never once yeah took a cigarette
please tell it I'm very proud of her
we all are and so are all the viewers
from our from our podcast all very proud
of her
and I'm sure she's gonna now to be proud
of her is nothing I was proud of her
every day throughout these 12 years it
wasn't one day when I was not proud of
it and I leave I really felt it she
never embarrassed me wow as soon as I
realized that I'm going in the wrong
direction I can say in the beginning I
was embarrassed if it was embarrassment
about everything but as soon as I
realized and where I live and what I
have to do to turn around and I realize
that that she's broken I wasn't
embarrassed anymore wow amazing what a
what a difference
it was me
identifying with her
meaning so
there was a monthly grand opening when
Evergreen started the supermarket and
the grand opening whole town came in
yeah and I decided that day she wasn't
dressed the way we are used to and I
would go with her shopping meaning hand
in hand and put the card together with
her and shut up in the Thor while
everyone looks and what I would do just
look them back in their face I didn't
even stare down to the floor I just
stared back oh take so much
and he built her up it gave us so much
strength that I can identify with her in
public I used to hold her hands and go
out from my house to my father's house
and so soon at night to go Taylor
she would only stick bro Hashem she
always stayed home she wouldn't wander
around anymore when it won't be turned
around and I would go hand in hand now
just as soon as I'm visiting it for the
umptive that we had thousands and
thousands of people came from all over
the world and it was in front of
everyone I had no embarrassment no
nothing and I went with this was my
pride I'm sure your wife is 100 Locked
In and the same my wife had the same
situation and came to weddings let's say
right and she was at the wrong side and
my life just held out their hands and
sat next to her identified I think
almost the word spite came back in now
despite all these people I'm going to
show you that I'm strong and I'm wow
this is unbelievable and you would think
that people the the instinct is that you
believe that you think that everybody
will look down at me that I have such a
child and it's the opposite when people
see how you stand next and you stand
with your child they only admire you
I've only got compliments never I was
maybe told something I don't even
remember it when one year it came in the
other so the only uh hard situation was
so I went to the vision set up and I
told them about this mahalak of Aviv and
at the level fashion go to him and the
rabbit said of course
and asked him for a broker and he gave
me a brokeragean so I went in
later some neighbors they were all
scared about the situation and what it's
going to do to the neighborhood and
people are also scared of the reflection
Beyond really so worried for their kids
how the neighborhood is going to appear
so this is the neighborhood where
and I can tell you one thing that if
people would realize that if you can
respect a child a broken child
they're not desperate to bring in their
own friends
to get corals or to get physics
family and they're okay with neighbors
if neighbors can get along with those
kids there's no reason to shame them no
reasons to embarrass them we're used to
yell at them it doesn't bring doesn't do
anything it only makes them
that they are looking out for support
who are they bringing for support people
from outside and it's only going to make
the situation worse
I'll tell you a very scary story even if
it's not where we're talking now but
it's something to make people aware I
just heard of this master Sabbath and I
know the people involved I know the
families and all the people I know
firsthand
and so the person that repeated to me
the story told me the story that I knew
was a kid that went South and
neighbors didn't like it and they asked
the father to move away
and he didn't want of course why would I
move
so one neighbor
started arranging
that the neighborhoods would come and
protest so every night there were
protests
in front of that house can handle that
Neighbors coming one one neighbor was
the
whatever I don't know what exactly
they'll be yelling years went by that
family fell apart at the end no wonder
and they moved away
and but
I'm talking years went by I'm talking
about maybe over 20 years good over 20
years and the person that the leader of
that group he himself has now a few kids
after their okay and it was only
decently when he realized that maybe I
did something wrong
he picked up the phone I took some
courage and I picked up the phone and
they called up that person with his
prior neighbor from years ago located in
him and started yeah and started begging
him from a Healer and he said you know
would you forgive me I realized that I
went wrong I was wasn't the proper thing
to do I want to ask you for moshila
and he said I'll be honest with you I
have a few kids now struggling not he
not from and the legalized might be
because of this
the man told him I want you to know that
you ruined my whole family
and I want you to know I want to know
how many kids do you have that are
struggling and he said
the number
he said don't call me yet
because I dumb to Hashem when this
happened that you should have more than
this
and since you're not there yet I'm not
going to be more of you this is so
painful this is scary
I just got sure nobody
no healthcare and no and no one knows
but the one I'm sorry this let's talk
tacos is a happy place I have to go back
to book Hashem to your successes
You Killed Me Now by the way you killed
me
but I want to go back to the successes
and I want to I want you to tell our
people our viewers and listeners
that as much as we've died from as much
as we
beg the Irish tale it should give us
these challenges
when it happens
give me a few words of Courage for the
people how strong they should be and how
positive this should be and they should
not let it drag them down please give us
give us encouragement I'm
I'm gone so I can tell you that all you
can do is you don't want me to work out
on a wheelchair from this place you
better build me back you you do you have
excellent record of rebuilding people
you have to stay focused on what you're
trying to accomplish and what's your
main goal here and remember that and
don't think about anything else don't
get turned away turned off don't get
distracted by what neighbors would say
or parents or grandparents or anyone
and it only brings calmness back in the
family only builds up your family and
build up your kid
we can say it with
sure but I would focus what I was
focused is on a few things
number one I was very strongly focused
that my kids should not own anything to
anyone else outside of me meaning she
shouldn't have any hakura for toys and
be desperate enough to ask someone on
the street to provide anything to her
and owe that person anything
so I wanted to make sure whatever my
child needs is coming from me and the
only person she has a toys too should be
me
was it prevented mommy and me yes and
was this prevented and I'll tell you
where I started and this is by letting
my ego go when I first wrote a letter to
her an apology letter you wouldn't
believe what that apology entailed and
what it included and I just realized
when I saw once I realized that she
wasn't in pain and she was broken I had
to tell her that I feel sorry if I'm not
realizing if I'm not apology for that
period between when you discovered
yes and until you started changing your
style that's yeah that's what it's
focused on right yes I took the blame
I'm sure you I know I know you I'm sure
you were a great father generally
speaking you and your wife are great
parents all throughout you didn't become
solely now you became smarter and but
I'm sure you didn't never did anything
wrong to this kid before but it's not
happening so what
the signs of things going bad is when
you think that when you see that logic
doesn't work every kid you don't think I
realized right away yeah I'm telling my
child you have to wake up on time you
think the child doesn't know that
I'm not telling them any news
I'm telling him anything that is about
structure yeah the child knows exactly
okay they grew up exactly like the other
kids they lived together they grew up in
a healthy fine normal home and and as
soon as he realized that this is out of
logic and doesn't make sense you realize
that with logic and with sense you will
not get anywhere because the logic they
have since they have when they don't
make sense and they lose logic
are you pushing logic into them doesn't
change the situation just makes it worse
just tell them just
just bite you bring a fight you make
them lonely you make them be alone and
they try to pull other people and they
need some support they'll get it and if
they can't get it in the family and
everybody's strong against them they'll
get outside and if anything they need
they have ways to get it they all get it
unbelievable I think we can be all night
but I'm so happy that we are we can
conclude this
amazing conversation in a
positive note I I couldn't be able to
interview a parent that is in the first
phases I'll tell you what what my
sometimes we have that's an order to
jump up if sometimes they have to bend
down a little bit so you can get a
better jump so by me the my daughter
gets life you can see a lot of those
kids they need love to an
uncontrolled in an unimaginable amount
of Love on the imaginary level for many
of them they need dogs
to survive because a lot a dog is not
judgmental and it gives you love to no
end and this is what they need my
daughter has a different thing that
gives her mom's life and this is babies
the smile that a baby gives her
and the love that a baby gives is also a
baby doesn't touch a baby loves you
smiles back to you and she gets life
from that so she used to work by a
babysitter
but all of her money all of guns had
another cat not a penny was there plus
but how much I paid and helped and
supported her all these years throughout
the journey
and then many many ways
one day a from father came into the pick
up his baby but that babysitter and he
saw that how she was dressed and he told
the babysitter he cannot let his baby or
a few months old he cannot let his baby
be with such a girl over here it's
always she has to tell my daughter to
dress up
so what do you think she's dressed up
right of course it's just done
so my daughter came home and said my job
is gone
that's it
so I told her me and my wife sat down
with her and we said you know what
going forward Let It Go
and you will start your own babysitting
in our house
and she said I'm a sexer that's what she
said I'm over foreign
it's not going to happen it's impossible
I said okay don't worry but it's not
it's it's still worth trying it's not
worth giving up
and I can tell you what's today
that as soon as people find out that
they're going to have a baby they
register with her
she takes very responsibility so she's
very responsible she only takes she has
a helper now and she only takes up to I
think 12 or 13 babies
but this is her life
and this gave her life my whole house
throughout the week is turned
upside down with cribs playpens whatever
these guys
everything and crying in the house
babies crying babies happy and she's
talking and walking and it's all about
the kids and everything can I register
my grandchildren by her
and and I'll drive them from Brooklyn to
Mercy every day with pleasure and it all
came to halt a short stop
this was one of the saddest times the
hardest times throughout this whole
period watching her unravel she lost her
whole appetite in life so before we
never she wasn't bad she didn't bother
coming out she had no purpose in life
not coming out and it was horrible that
situation and I felt to myself you know
I saw I lived in visitor that I said
before and when this whole thing came
about neighbors starting threatening me
that they're going to make protests and
stuff and I said you know what I'm
moving away I sold my house my house was
paid off my mortgage I was I lived with
a tenant that paid me rent and paid off
my taxes and my insurance I live
basically only paying utilities
and it's free already I sold my health I
bought a new house now I'm paying a
mortgage again without any tenant I'm
just a beautiful room for my daughter
over there and I made it
comfortable as only imaginable for her I
made it Mom's a beautiful beautiful
section that I built special for her and
this is where she stayed because I'm
throughout all these years since I moved
that's covered then after all this
moving and after all this sacrifice to
have uh this thing go down collapse
collapse I felt like where it is going
to go now and that friend
but when she realized that it's going to
a bad situation and unless she takes it
in the situation into her own hands
nothing will happen she called me down
one day to come to talk to her and I was
sure that she's going to tell me that
she's ending her life giving up she's
giving up I I didn't expect anything
else
and when I came down and she told me
that
she is looking for help
and she wants to get out of this wow wow
so getting from getting her to the fact
that she herself
it's the second the second bombshell
he's throwing at me I told you only I
can I cannot handle that much she's self
called out for help instead of giving up
is unbelievable
you get a lot of credit and you're
giving a lot of people physic now
if the baby's thing is back on are we
back on right after covert came back
because full swing and it's mamas mamas
every day you should see how she talks
to the kid and how they talk back to her
they call me Daddy
what was going on
but what a remarkable story oh it became
the whole house became a calm house and
a comfortable house where everybody's
welcome and and even when she brings
when she had to bring friends they are
welcome rather than her her any she
never has to wander off to anywhere
because I'd rather have her him fighting
his friends over those in a comfort zone
sure and whenever she wants friends she
can invite them over it's not a problem
we have beautiful
and anything I want to finish with one
nice story yes so the um
as she went to rehab
and she was just gone away for before
Yom Kippur she went she left Aaron
Kipper and she's going to come back and
focus for 10 days
so she told me
Anderson she said tati you know that and
the thickest I won't be home
and
we used to think every sick as we think
it's a song very nice and she loved it
she had even now every Sabbath she's the
one who's been getting the kip at every
Sabbath Friday night of singing many for
the simple that's her song yeah she gets
and she starts a nice song and we sing
and so we used to sing together and she
told me that the young Childs used to
come and sit on my lap when we were
singing and she misses those times and
now she's gonna go to rehab she'll be
able to sing
so soon we don't think
it's
for thickest so she says since I'm going
to be missing you singing Secrets can we
sing it now it's a sooner tonight I said
of course come sit on my lap she asked
you want to sit on my lab the way she
did it when she was a young child and
she came she sat on my lap and together
we sang
this is what you needed before she went
off to yeah there's no doubt that she's
a very very high in the Sherman a
special in the summer
and I'm sure the Irish there's a lot of
Allah
and I know I know that you have a lot of
I can tell you that nowadays
she loves to identify with me so if we
happen to be at the same time let's say
in a supermarket I would be going
through an aisle and I wouldn't even
necessarily know that she's in the
supermarket and she would certainly see
me from the other end of this of the
aisle she would like crushed in there
not wrong he yelled from there everybody
should see that she's my daughter and
talk to me in Yiddish wow
she's amazing she wants to identify with
she feels so good identifying with me
all right tell her again and on behalf
of all the let's talk viewers she's very
special yes and we are very proud of her
and I really want to thank you for
coming here I know it wasn't probably
easy to to go public
but I know the the touchless because
it's called
the results will be amazing and I really
really appreciate you coming here thank
you for giving me the opportunity my
pleasure
