Are there any questions you have that we could answer?
You know when I left, I left because my kids were being heavily retrained. And we were being "punished" so they stuck all 8 of us in one room and told me I had to take care of them full time.
I guess they thought since I was mainly PR and outreach, that I didn't know how to cope with my own kids. Weird, anyway, I loved it, it was so great being with my own children, and I couldn't see what people were talking about, they were great!lol So anyway, my hubby asked me, if I could really cope with having the kids discipline taken out of hands again, and their training. I thought no way, they had suffered enough. (Silence restriction, washing dishes by themselves for thirty people at the age of eight, etc...) So we left.
It was much different raising our kids on our own. It has been the most worthwhile experience in my whole life. How can I express how different it is then having to discuss my kids with others and what ever else, which is what was happening in the Family at the time.
