I am so thoroughly enjoying them and this wk's were major cliffhangers. OMG, Shayna's mother answers her cell phone and it's her long since gone and hated ex-husband! Whoooaoooo!! I can't wait to read next wk's, unless they totally don't focus on that and make us wait 2 wks!
Reuven finally realizes that his wife used to make up stories and then he hears firsthand from his upstairs neighbor how she never met his wife. Something is definitely about to happen!
Esther and Miri decide to drive out without licenses or their parents knowing. My guess is they'll be in an accident and somehow her father will finally realize his wrongdoing.
also, I can't get over how Sarah decides to stick up for herself. Where did she get this newfound boldness and courage? Seems similar to Mishpacha's Charades but over there was much more gradual. Here, one wk she's shaking from fear and the next wk, she stomps out to a Rav. Wow!

Ah, I couldn't resist this one even though you didn't get anything out of me on the other thread!
Did you notice what's fueling Sarah's newfound "courage" at the moment? Anger!!!!! Enough said!

Bundy, this wk was excellent and SO SUSPENSEFUL! I just knew they would get into an accident but why did it have to stop there?
and I can't wait to see how Reuven will present his new "find" (high time) to his wife.
and how will Yaakov react to Sarah's boldnes? I think he'll be mighty MAD and do something really nasty.
Oh gosh! Can't wait 'til next wk!

Bundy, I was a bit disappointed with the rabbi's advice. If this woman has been abused for so long and never said boo why would she have the guts to go call an unknown therapist. (If we didn't need the therapist already, I wouldn't think sh would call her.)
Also, Reuven already thanked the neighbor for the oven and the neighbor already told him Alisa didn't use her oven. When Reuven had asked Alisa about it she lied to cover it up. (This was chapter 2 or 3 I think). Did Reuven and the neighbor both forget the conversation.
Of course, Esther's going to crash. Don't we all love teen 'drivers'.

Ah, no...got ya there! Gotta refresh your memory. Reuven and Alisa met the neighbors by the elevator on a Friday night. Reuven thanked her for the use of the oven and before she could respond, Alisa almost fainted!!
Hmm, the Rabbi. What advice would you have liked him to give Sarah?
Hey, I'm soooo glad that you're keeping me on my toes!!! Keep it up!

I don't care what the rabbi tells Sarah, I just didn't want her walking out of his office until I was sure she was getting help. WIth just a therapist's number, she can go home and just rationalize that it's not so bad and not get any help.

I don't know how the Rabbi is not afraid to just send her back home straight into her husband's wrath. Shouldn't a Rav be more careful than that?

All of my chapters are looked over by a (real) therapist first. Also, if you recall last week's episode, the Rabbi did check that there was no physical abuse taking place.
Sooooo, stay tuned and hold on to your hat!

I had no doubts that your story was being looked over by a proffesional before going to print
I also have no doubt that Sarah will call the therapist, but what would the rabbi have done if she didn't? Also, what would the Rav have advised Sarah if Yaakov was physically abusive? (For some reason physical abuse is never talked about in frum publications.)

Seeing as how I'm not writing about physical abuse, this question is hypothetical (and yes, physical abuse is much harder to talk about in an open forum).
As for the Rabbi and Sarah...stay tuned for that saga.
And if you want to know what my fictional Rabbi would say to my physically abused protaganist...it would be...Run! Get the heck out of there fast, maybe to a shelter to start with. But then again, my characters are fictional! Hope the "real" Rabbis would say the same.

Sorry, the quote box wasn't there, this is re Bundy's stating that had the abuse been physical the rabbi would have said run.
I just wanted to say that non-physical abuse can still lead to tragedy, suicide, etc.
I'm sure that you don't mean to minimize the potential results, and will address this in some non-pedantic way.

Hi Pink Fridge,
Certainly I will be adressing the consequences of non-verbal abuse (actually, my entire story is about that), but what I meant to emphasize was whether Sarah was in immediate physical danger from her husband as opposed to any harm she might want to inflict on herself.
Have a wonderful Shabbos (cuddled up with Hamodia! )

Oh, I will. I'm behind a bit. I really hope the rabbi's not so gullible. That will make me totally lose faith in (fictional) humanity...

Just have to say Bundy that this week you took the cake. I was terrified this was all going to be too neat and nicely wrapped up -- I'm so relieved it's real and that you're showing how he's supporting a women's shelter OMG that was gr8! My only complaint is the segments are too short.

Still the first thing much of my family goes to. Getting higher on my list too - I no longer read it between shuttered hands ;-)
