Where csn I request for opening a private forum just for parents struggling with difficult teens? I can really use support. Should I reach out to yael for this?

Private forums don't really help, it just means less people are answering, plus everyone can see you are struggling with this issue because they see your name in a private forum.

The best parenting advice I have ever heard was actually by listening to Esther Wein's parsha Shiurim. She is not in Israel but does come to visit quite often, but you can find her on Torah Anytime. She talks a lot about letting go so kids can make mistakes, and about giving them lots of love, and of being their "patron" and friend. Try listening and if it grabs you then you can email her (she says the email at the beginning of most classes) and join her WhatsApp groups for lots of chizzuk.

op, there is a forum called "Extremely Rebellious/off the derech teens +" and you can pm Yael for access.
It's not super-active but there is anonymous posting in that forum, so you don't have to out yourself.

This seems helpful. Through what can I find Toira anytime? Where can I get access to her whatzapp group?
