Support. This has come up in a different topic, and will come up again, in cycles. No one owes any other unschoolers support or assistance. Luckily, there are many people willing to offer help, information, assistance and ideas. But neither online nor in park meet-ups nor at their own kitchen tables is it ever *required* that someone help you. I have a page of information on people who will help you for money, but even they are volunteering to put that service forth and could decide halfway through a session to send you a refund instead of finishing it. This group wont last forever. Ive been in groups and on forums I WISH still existed, for my own sake and new unschoolers, but they are, several, serially, gone. My strongest personal discussion, Always Learning, is quieter than it used to be. It is over a dozen years old, and solid, and waning. Radical Unschooling Info is only worth doing if its done well and solidly—with the intention of helping people, and without the time-sink and confusion of the sort of support that hampers rather than helps. Please be grateful for the help others provide, because they really dont have to help you. When people write here and share their lives, and photos, and best ideas, and experiences, they are doing it out of the joyful hope that your children can have happier lives. Its not to make the mom feel better this moment, but to help her change her life in ways that will make her feel immeasurably better later on. (I meant to post this here, but accidentally posted it on my own page. Ill bring some of the comments people left there.)
