A friend of mine has severe depression and homeschools her children (her kids are younger than yours, and her husband is home too). People seem to think that putting the kids in school will somehow magically solve her depression but the reality is she loves having her children at home as school was not good for them, but also that she is always available and her children can come and snuggle up with her and they talk about everything openly. There's nothing taboo and it works really well for them. My friend says she would be far worse off if her children were in school, especially if they had to come home and deal with school tasks plus limited hours to spend with her.<br /><br />I really admire families that are so open like this. I know far too many families that are so closed, you just can't talk about certain things, kids are told to "man up", "stop being a princess" etc. In my dad's family for instance, mental illness was one of the ultimate taboo subjects and seen as a shameful thing! I never want my children to grow up believing that!<br />Veganopouloushttp://www.veganopoulous.com/noreply@blogger.com
