Shomer/Shalom, G-d/Gosh

Question

Kavod HaRav- I'm not saying this to argue with the shulchan aruch or to find a way out of this, at all- but if telling my brothers that we can't hug or touch at all will bring about real family problems, which no doubt about it- it will, is it worth it to take away some shalom bayit to not touch my brother?? I know it sounds like a cop-out, but I sincerely am wondering if it's worth it... Also, is there anything wrong with saying "Oh my G-d" as opposed to "Oh my Gosh"? Thank you!!

Write him a letter. If you want, email a draft to me and I'll help you with it. This very well might be your first major sacrifice to your God. Try it. It hurts, but then you get to Heaven.... You'll be amazed at how well he'll take it. AA
