I'm a single mom with no child support for income. I'm a former domestic violence advocate who has dedicated her life to breaking the cycles of abuse consuming both sides of her family. This drive is what led me to rewilding. I wanted to be able to meet my own needs if I found myself in circumstances I needed to leave for my own well-being. I'm proud of how far I've come. My children are only partially rewilded. I found myself with no income in a van that broke down in a small town in Arkansas. The local homeless org is putting us up with the condition I send my children to school and find employment. They've been lenient with me on these qualifications because they know I was rewilding and whole life unschooling. The schools are introducing my children to the routine slowly with shortened days and special classes. It was going well until today. My daughter was body shamed.
The attempts to "make me think" began. "Undue influence, coercive persuasion, the legal terms for abuse, you're crossing the line"; was my response. "She's going to be moved into classrooms where the little boys are perverts, you know how they are." "The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world; these women better start looking themselves in the eye real deep and take responsibility for raising their sons to be perverts. It's not my daughter's fault or problem". They're sexualizing an 11 year old. That's right there under kiddie porn and sexual abuse of a minor. Bras shred the muscles of the upper body causing breast sagging and a few other problems. You're demanding the mutilation of my daughter's body? Want me to go further? I'm game for it.
I was told my averagely endowed daughter would have to start wearing a bra and while she can continue to wear leggings, her shirt will have to be long enough to cover her butt. I don't feel the need to say more.
Now that I think of it; I was told it was not addressed at the meeting we just left so as not to embarrass me or my daughter. Are we sure it wasn't done in private so it wouldn't go on record?
I'm not upset. I'm engaged.
