Are there any other divorced, working full time, Christian moms who are also successfully home schooling? I have the support of my pastor and his wife who I consider dear friends...but also am criticized for not placing my son in public school by others in my church. Although that is not new...as a married , home schooling mom of four I remember being criticized for everything from what I wore (regular clothing, I thought) to what I ate ( regular food, I thought) So the criticism isn't new, just that I am weary and have no resources ( Well obviously I serve an awesome God!) My concerns are new however, as my son is doing so much of this on his own. No one has come alongside us to encourage and support and that is a disappointment. I struggle to support us and to also provide books and time and encouragement to my DS who I feel is valiant in his studies. At 13 I think it may be too much for him to do on his own, but he is doing a good job. Also, I am not aware of any other alternatives available to us. Suggestions? Encouragement? Genuine correction welcome, but trite, snotty comments, please, no thank you. I feel we are just barely surviving currently, but long to thrive.
