Jodi! It's me! I've wondered what happened with
you. A lot has happened here. I'm still working
from home, but Jasmine is in an online public
school so that I don't have to assign work or grade
work, but I do tutor her a lot. My son went to
public school and joined the bad crowd, was
impossible to deal with, broke some laws, and is
serving time in wilderness camp. So life has not
been easy.

Support? I get that from my friends. My family is
500 miles away and would never tell me I'm doing
the wrong thing. Mom just brags about how strong I
am. (Not that I ever prayed for that! LOL) I've got
a couple of close homeschool (and former
homeschool) friends. Since my kids are 16 & 17, I
outgrew the need for a homeschool support group.

So my advice is to look to your friends for
support, and if your old friends are fairweather
friends, you'll need to find some new ones. Hard, I
know, when you're busy with 4 kids! My 2 best
friends never knew me when I was married. I think
that makes it easier for them not to judge me since
I've always been single to them.
