My identical twin girls both converted to Orthodox Judaism a couple years ago and moved to a big Orthodox/Hasidic community in Brooklyn where they are trying to totally absorb in it and close themselves off to everything else, one of my daughters found this guy through a matchmaker type person and is going to marry him, she never even asked my opinion of him. I'm of German background and my wife is Lebanese and we're Christian. They never want to come over for holidays anymore, they will never eat at our house anymore, they rarely even come to see me or call me. Their lives have become so totally different from the way they were raised by my wife and I and I feel like they really don't care anything about the cultural heritage that they came from and don't want anything to do with it at all anymore, and I feel because of that they dont care about me/our family anymore. What should I do? I feel very hurt. Is this a slap in the face to me and my wife?
 
Sounds like you need to get a life of your own and let them have theirs.
