It just breaks my heart. I really want to hear from people like you, it wakes me up to the dilemma we oldsters inadvertently put on the kids. You know, that was one of my biggest pet peeves in the F. I wanted an education for my kids and I was always fighting with everyone for it, from my then husband to just about every shepherd. It played on my mind so much that I worried that if the F. were to fall apart or whatever, what would the kids do? It was one reason why I wanted to leave. Now I see my fears were not so unfounded. The present F. members need to consider this. That stupid analogy of Maria's to kick out kids that desire an education is going to come back and bite her in the butt and I hope it takes out a H. of a chunk. She reminds me of my sister, one heck of a control freak. Oh dear, I'm ranting too and I was wanting to talk to YOU. I want to say a resounding good for you! I think there are many wonderful people in the F. if they can just get out from underneath all that oppression. Do keep us informed and do come here and rant anytime you want. We're listening and paying attention.
