    Raised in this kind of environment, I am so happy to see families break away from this kind of generational abuse.

    Kids need to be around other people who have different cultures, viewpoints, and experiences in order to become a person with a well-rounded mindset and social skills.

    Homeschooling has be a shield for abuse and control for so many years. I believe there are legit reasons for it, but religion uses it it such an awful way.

      I was as well, though my family weren’t in deep. A friend from my co-op is estranged from her IBLP family due to abuse, though, and many more of my co-op classmates just failed to launch after graduation because they were book-smart but had no idea how to navigate a world that wasn’t completely managed and controlled by their parents.
