Why I Disappeared for 2 Years - (Part of) My Divorce Story // Homeschool
Hi Dear Friends,
I know it has been so long since I produced a video, and I am so sorry to have just left you. But, divorce is a tough TOUGH thing to go through, and the last thing I could have done was be on social media. I have gone through so much in these past 2 years and I have grown immensely. Please let me know in the comments if you would like me to continue making videos :). After spending their very first year ever in a school, I am so happy to say we are coming BACK to homeschooling for 2022/2023!
I love you all and thank you for your support.

      I am 51 years old and dyscalculia. Even though I graduated from high school. In 1991 I started looking. At homeschool math programs. That are recommended for students. With the same condition as myself. The one that was affordable for me. Was Learn Math Fast I paid. $40 dollars and you read the lesson and complete the problems. I am making slow gradual progress. Will I ever really understand math. Probably not but can I get better at it. Absolutely and so can you.

    It must have been hard to go through that and stopping homeschool. The curriculum you used in those first 2 years at home probably set them up for a good start. I saw your compassion when you were talking about meeting your daughter where she was instead expecting her to keep up with others through her mathematics learning. Yes if you ever chose to put out videos on single parenting and homeschool or afterschool- homeschool etc. I would be interested.

    I'm a single parent of 5 - even though it initially looks bleak, and unservivable, things get better. I'm not sure if you've been through the horrors of the corrupt family law courts yet or not (until your youngest turns 18 that is a constant threat) - but you want to be careful of what you say on here, about your ex, your kids, how you educate - when my middle 3 kids father dragged us through that arena the children continuing to be home educated was seriously the *only* thing we agreed on but the system is completely against home education, so that became the focal issue of our case. Most people don't realize that when a parent signs the initiating application - that they are in effect forfeiting *both* parents parental rights over to the judge until *they* see fit. And unfortunately the children's best interests are not the main agenda.
