After my visits with you, together we identified that your family has many strengths, including being a good, happy family and have a good marriage.Huzzah for "have a good marriage"!
The letters arrived right after we got back from vacation, 2 1/2 weeks ago, but somehow I just didn't feel like writing about it -- my apologies to the people who've been praying for us so faithfully and waiting for news. When I think about it, I don't feel excited or relieved. As with so many things lately, I feel a great weariness. It just seems like one more thing in a long train of parenting events, a train that stretches on past my ability to see into the future.
But shaking myself from my lethargy: this is good news, and I'm glad that the episode is officially behind us. Now, on to starting schoolwork on Monday.
I did not read the post from August until after this post, but it still makes me sick in the stomach reading about the incident, even though, or because, I have read so many similar stories throughout my homeschooling years and ever since. Even if and when you get the All Clear, it has been a huge invasion of the family home and privacy, and the inquisition of the children especially makes me sad.
ReplyDeleteBut I will be glad that it's over. Also glad that you have those good neighbors. (I wish that tattler would drive through the needy neighborhoods, and do more than tattle.)
