Unprepared for Parenting (Ezzos, Pearls, Etc.) *Public*Support and information for those affected by the Ezzos, the Pearls, and other punitive and adversarial methods of child-rearing. A public forum. Before posting here, please read this sticky and keep guideline 23 in mind:
23. No posts harshly dissecting parenting moments of others since we desire to humbly cultivate a heart attitude of grace and not judgment towards other mamas. We all struggle at times as parents and have much to learn, and GCM's focus is to provide tools and information for each of us to parent more effectively. Posts voicing some frustration regarding choices made by others can be okay, but it needs to be within the overall context of seeking understanding or ideas for better responses in the future.

Thank you for setting the stage for this, Crystal. I still have not emailed my response yet b/c I'm not ready to "go public" with some of my most personal and heartbreaking parenting mistakes , but I really want to speak to her about my first hand experiences. (also b/c dh would freak) I just couldn't quite figure out how to go about it.
I guess I feel conflicted about not putting my name to my words, but I also don't want to give a personal interview, have reporters "following up" with our family, or become the poster girl for anti-Pearl sentiment. kwim?
I know *exactly* how you feel! But, Jodi PM'd me a suggestion. . .maybe she's got one for you? There has to be a way to maintain a "distance" while still getting it out there. . .
