People who are traditionally schooled have difficult times, too. We experience grief, unemployment, depression, and discouragement. So definitely let go, if you can, of the idea that you have some sort of responsibility to the unschooling community to "do better." You do not. Unschoolers are going to have all the usual range of life experiences and human emotions.<br /><br />I'm glad you're asking for help. Definitely talk to De about HUG; it's a ready-made mechanism for unschoolers to help each other.Ronniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08951807743657971532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5100621885036051985.post-79613405218684056532010-06-22T18:47:22.705-07:002010-06-22T18:47:22.705-07:00I really want to help.

If it weren't for money and situation limits, I'd be happy to meet up and contribute (Who knows? Maybe that might happen. ;) ).Netzihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17477312919610696692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5100621885036051985.post-54751798011643325252010-06-21T21:54:03.028-07:002010-06-21T21:54:03.028-07:00Bonnie,

I attempted to post a comment yesterday...Bonnie,<br /> I attempted to post a comment yesterday when you first posted this. I don't see it here so I was obviously not successful. <br /> I read this to the end and cried. You have been so very brave and you just did the hardest and bravest thing that you have done so far. Asking for help. I know how hard this post was for you to write. <br /> As a mother this is especially heartbreaking because no mom wants to think about leaving her kids behind. Hannah fortunately has a large family to draw strength and help from were anything to happen to me but she is much like you in that I believe she would have a hard time reaching out for help. I am so glad that you did and we want to answer that call.<br /> Please message me on facebook or call. Hannah sent you our numbers last night on facebook. We want to help and we can talk about what form that help can take. <br /> Most importantly we want to be here for you Bonnie in a solid and real way. Not just words but whatever we are able to do. <br /> Call us, write us, or leave us a number where we can call you. We are here for you Bonnie and we care! If it were Hannah in this situation and I was gone...well I cannot do less for you than I would want someone to do for her.<br />Our love and support to you Bonnie, RamonaRamona Teasdalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02607107139388326089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5100621885036051985.post-40301921177885612902010-06-20T22:37:13.709-07:002010-06-20T22:37:13.709-07:00This seriously gives me chills. Wow. My heart re...This seriously gives me chills. Wow. My heart really goes out to you, I hope you know.<br /><br />The first thing I can do for you is pray, and ask everyone I know to pray for you as well. I don't really think it matters if you believe in God, or some superior being, or the forces of the universe, or even nothing. I see prayer as that thing that binds all life together. <br /><br />Secondly, I want to let you know that I have faith things <i>will</i> work out for you - and in much more beautiful ways than you can ever imagine. I feel in my bones, Bonnie. It's coming.<br /><br />Right now there isn't anything I can do directly to help you, as far as I know. But I will keep my whole self pealed... peeled... I don't know which one but I will be whichever one is correct. :) I LOVE YOU and I am so honored to know such an amazing person and writer. <br /><br />~JessicaJ. C.
