I wish I'd met you 20 years ago! The only thing I learned from my father was how not to be a father, and that taken to extremes.
Then I had to be a father for my two lovely daughters, and as if that wasn't difficult enough, my wife died after the first birthday of the youngest, so I had to do it all alone.
Decisions you have made are in line with mine, only you took it a few steps further. So now I know how I could have done it better, but the youngest is 15... it is too late for them.
Nevertheless they are both the most wonderful girls that I have ever seen.
You're doing an amazing job, parenting and talking about it. Breaking the wrong paradigms that we grow up in, and showing how it should be done.

Yes I feel for you. Life is often not easy and it appears yours was exceptionally hard.
Part of why I do what I do is not just for me or my girls but for the greater good. I feel its so important to expose people to alternatives especially in this area of life as parenting and education are sooooo far from ideal.
I hope to inspire and be an example of how fulfilling and successful life as a parent can be.
I appreciate your comment and hope to see you around~*~
LOL, thanks, my friend, but my problems are contained and pretty much solved (as good as these things can be solved) You are doing a good and important job here and it is great to read about it. As I said, I gave this a lot of thought and decided to raise my children somewhat outside of the ratrace. You took it to the next level. Well, we all have our 'mission' in life and I hope that soon you'll see the results of mine. ;)
I hope that as well~
I also hope that I may contribute to the successful results of your mission.
Bless~*~
