I appreciate your posts! I've been "awake" for quite a few years. While I've done my best to educate my children that things are not as they seem and to question everything; they roll their eyes and call me a conspiracy theorist. That public school training goes deep. I can only hope that they really did hear me and, at some point, they will get it!

I would break down the message into Q&A. Either what I'm saying needs more research or I'm successful in waking someone up for some period of time (this is not always pretty). I'm just guessing here: if you have been discouraged for what you're trying to say you might need to wake up to that too. I tend to believe this: there is no way you can fail if you're really awake. In other words, one can always be more awake if the situation requires it. Of course, awake has many levels. Also IMV, it is not an insult to not be awake so hope you don't take offence; it is a state one can and certainly will go in and out of.
Of course you may have older kids and I'm way out of my league here and have no experience or idea what I'm talking about (my boy is 6)!!
I agree with you and I am not offended. I am very much aware that there is always something more to learn!
My Kids are in college so they make their own judgements. But, I've got to think that in the back of their minds they hear me saying,"question everything". They may joke about me but if they, at least, stop and think when presented with information, then I did my job.
I hear you - I have had the most success when I was able to focus the person that I was talking to on to one particular topic and once I discovered what interested them I then proceeded to deep dive with them.
Truth be told, it took you (and me) many years to awake - if your children are extremely lucky they may get there in 10 years. Respectfully, it your responsibility to be there every step of the way!
While I can't (and would never presume) to understand your unique situation) it may simply require some love, patience and time on your part.
I hope that my comment has helped - all the very best to you and your children!
Thanks!
