The GA Cobb Galeria Homeschool Expo
I think probably 1/3 off the vendors there were marketing some type of child abuse manuals. I'm disgusted because these are supposed to be my homeschool peers. No wonder people think we home-school to hide our child abuse! My oldest and youngest were with me, and I was so proud of how helpful and sweet they were with other kids there, and how my son supported a little girl to 'face her fears' on the treehouse gym...I wanted to shout from the rooftop -Hey! Look here! I don't have to punish my kids and aren't they awesome???
But instead I walked away a bit sad and sick and wondering what I can ever to do help change this for these children?
Yeah, I'm, just venting, but I needed to get this off my chest. This state needs waaaaay more gentle christian mamas.
