Hi Michelle,
Just had to write and say that what you wrote really struck a chord with
me. It IS crazy that we, according to our societal norms, are supposed to be
so separated in our families, not just when the kids go off to college but
starting from such a young age. So many of the "experts" keep telling us
what is normal and healthy, yet our society becomes more abnormal and
unhealthy even as they go in the prescribed directions.
It is good that many of us are finding our own better ways, healing
ourselves little by little and hopefully raising kids who are freer from the
unhealthy influences of the rat race modern world. Maybe the example of
saner lifestyles will make more and more people question the "experts" and
begin to make their own lives more sane.
