homeschooled

My learning disabilities were starting to affect me academically (and socially) in 3rd grade. The school recommended evaluation AND could do it onsite during school hrs. Nmom did none of that. Instead…

Wondering if anyone has taught a child the basics of grounding, meditation, shadow work, and/or energy work? — A little information, my children are younger, but not too young to understand, and we are expecting again. My wife is very skilled with energy even out of practice, and I am getting back in tune with…

Sunken Cost Fallacy — Married for almost 27 years. Got married at the ripe age of 19. Funny thing, I thought it was a mistake on my wedding night when he got out of bed to jack off because I was so exhausted from the long …

15M how do I self improve in about every way?? — First off I have never had self confidence and I was dating a girl of two years and she broke my heart a month or so ago and I want to improve myself except I just don’t know what to do, I don’t have …

I’ve been shifting since 2016, ask me anything :) — Or let’s have a discussion! I found out about shifting on accident in 2016. It started as I was being homeschooled at the time(I was 12 im 21 now lmaooo) and I was extremely fascinated with like sci-f…

I'm fourteen and I've been in a really weird situation my entire life. I don't know what to do. — trigger warning for sensitive content such as abuse (only financial abuse is really explicitly stated), alcoholism, s icidality (in the past, censoring in case it gets the post removed or something)?…

If a skeptic can manifest anything, then so can you. — I was raised in a religious household by parents who loved to preach about manifestation and the law of attraction. I never really believed them, though, because what they talked about sounded too clo…

How do I want to get better? — I've been on so many different meds and to several different therapists but I've only gotten worse, I've been able to understand my depression and trauma more but I have not been able to feel okay at …

My mom hasn’t enrolled my sisters in school — For context, my mom is kinda crazy, a narcissist, and just overall, not a great mom. My dad lets her get by with stuff because he just doesn’t feel like dealing with her. I found out a few weeks ago, …

Please hear me out. I feel invisible. — I wrote a novel about my life story and it's sitting in my drafts because honestly it's too much to digest. I have so much I want to vent about, so much on my mind, and it's festering in my chest. I f…

Was anyone else "homeschooled" by their parent/parents? — It's only recently occurred to me how incredibly neglected I was as a kid when it came to education. Especially as the eldest child. Handing a handful of questionable and not at all up to date "textbo…

Nmother rubbing it in face I don’t have a car — I moved at the day after I turned 18 because my parents are fucking INSANE. They trapped me inside the house constantly, I wasn’t allowed friends, no job, no license, nothing. I was homeschooled, she …

I've discovered I'm a toxic sibling and my life is a discombobulated mess. And, I want to change. (First time venting to anyone about my life, esp online.) — I'm an older sister of two younger ones, and I've been so mean to them for years. I'm high school age, and even looking back at when I was a kid, just small snippets of memories, I don't think I have …

Thinking about going no contact with my mom, but I'm scared I won't be able to see my sisters anymore — I can't get into my old account which is why this one is so new! TW mentions past abuse (physical, emotional and sexual) and self-harm. I don't get into the details, but they are mentioned. My mom …

How is it Like Being an Adult and having to live on Your Own? — I'm turning 18 in a few months and I'm starting to face the reality that I'll probably have to live on my own soon, I’ve been dependent on my parents forever, but my home life has always been so unsta…

Thanks for the kind words. I don’t understand it either, but it didn’t help that his family was a lot more conservative than I initially realized and I think some of his views were pretty ableist as w…

Ew, I’m very sorry you experienced that. I hope you can find an outlet that works for you. Non sexual touch can be incredibly healing in the right context. I can empathize a little, I was forced to t…

Sorry to write a separate comment. I was just thinking, "ah screw it, might as well write it out now." --- Examples of ways the halo effect has backfired on me: You say attractive people get more …

This is a very specific one, I replaced all that stuff when I changed my name. For my senior year, I was homeschooled, and I need my diploma. My parents created and currently hold the only copy, the …

TL:DR I've been on the other side of this exact scenario, and acted almost exactly like your boyfriend did, and even *I* would advise you to walk away for both your sakes. I say this as someone who *…

1. Capricorn Rising 2. 18° Pisces 3. Saturn rules my 1st and 2nd houses 4. Sextile 1H Capricorn Venus, square 12H Sagittarius Sun & Jupiter 5. I was homeschooled, so my early education was very isolat…

Yes. Yes, yes, yes. My entire family system on both sides is deeply dysfunctional and abusive. Rampant with homophobia, classism, misogyny, and racism. I was told to shut up and not talk about myself…

you're not crazy.  I was allowed to go to church, and i was homeschooled. so it was sundays out of the house. and then every. single. other. day. the same.  fourteen years of my life are a blur, sav…

Is your childhood trauma related to Medical trauma? Being homeschooled? Ruler of your 3rd house is your sun in 6th house and it’s opposed by Saturn. Saturn delays. 6th house is health. So I’m thinking…

Thanks for posting this, it’s good to not feel so alone. My “upbringing” was of a similar vibe. Homeschooled, and although I wasn’t banned from seeing people, my mother made it functionally impossible…

i had a lot of various kinds of traumas throughout my childhood and teenage years, medical trauma/health issues and being homeschooled are indeed two things i experienced (& i'm still dealing with bad…

“I’m not abusive, I provide for you, keep a roof over your head.” when I have never used the word abuse in front of them. There’s also “You’re hiding things from me”, “You’ve never worked a REAL job”,…

I'm 37 and stuck at about 15. I was homeschooled most of my life and 15 was about the time I started to feel really bad about it and fell into a deep depression. I'm also on the autism spectrum so tha…

I remember my mother once telling me when I was around 19ish that "I never really had a teenager phase. I went from a quiet young child right to a mature adult." I'm sure it was quite the ego trip fo…

First off—you’re not a bad person. The fact that you’re 15 and even asking this puts you way ahead of most people. Breakups at that age hit hard because it’s usually your first real attachment, so do…

My family literally pretended I was invisible and that they also could not hear me. Regularly. To the point I would cry and panic because they wouldn’t respond to anything so I started doubting I was …

Mine forced me to be homeschooled. They'll never admit it but I believe they did that to cripple me mentally and emotionally so I wouldn't leave my status as family punching bag.

I knew a homeschooled kid who was absolutely messed up mentally.  I felt so bad for him

I was pulled from school at 5 to.be "homeschooled". She never homeschooled us. My parents were in an abusive relationship. One time when I was 4 I was so stressed from the DV and neglect I would cry a…

This is a memoir but it’s such an extreme case it reads like fiction “Homeschooled” by SM Block

Yeah. Turned 30 recently and never have done anything romantic or sexual with another human being. I was neglected and homeschooled growing up in a small town so I didn’t have many opportunities to gr…

Can I ask how old you are? Are you homeschooled? I’m so sorry you’re not able to get the help you need right now. I hope you know it’s a great thing you know you need help. Can I ask why it would be a…

Phew. We homeschooled for a bit and I met a lot of people like your wife and saw some women go through the same pipeline >crunchy>wellness>conspiracies>homeschool>religion and I honestly couldn't conn…

I don’t mean to pile-on when you’ve already taken accountability, but the r/homeschoolrecovery subreddit is… eye-opening. Their stories are likely what your kids will experience if this homeschooling…

You're probably getting downvoted because you linked to a sub that is across the board opposed to homeschooling to the point they explicitly say they ban disagreement. Not opposed to bad homeschooling…

I linked it because OP needs to see what the future holds. Idgaf if I’m downvoted. I’ve seen it firsthand, and the future for kids with that level of indoctrination is bleak. I guarantee not a single…

I don't think this is worth divorcing over. Vows are vows, and there are benefits to having someone with a different view than yours. If she has had good reason to change on her views, perhaps they ar…

I was homeschooled off and on throughout my childhood. My parents paid for the Abeka program and basically told me to teach myself. It's all super biblical and super racist and way behind the times. T…

Sounds uncomfortably familiar. My mom dumped her trauma on me and told me that her and Dad almost divorcing was my fault. She also homeschooled me and told me that high school was full of bullies and …

Absolutely. My mom had no friends of her own, I think maybe she wanted me to be her perfect friend, but she was my worst enemy. She’s very paranoid too and thinks everyone is going to r8pe and murder …

I've tried recalling specifically her reading to me since that's huge for childhood development and zero memory of it comes to mind. I had to have learned from somewhere and was largely homeschooled(2…

Slight amendment for clarification: When I say "play" I meant like making up stories with toys or being silly (for me). And specifically when I was a young child (like 4-10. nMom would read to us…

Yeah like the other commenter said, your birthday is pretty unimportant in the grand scheme of things bc that just dictates your sun sign. But I think I know what you’re getting at now so I will say t…

Well I was homeschooled so yes in the most worst way. It didn’t stop there. I was brainwashed into getting married and having kids with yet another narcissist. Every time I tried to further my educati…

I can relate to this. My parents had a "family phone" that I was allowed to use to contact my friends. It was my only link to the outside world from 15-18 (I was homeschooled, and they took away all …

I feel sorry for you 💔 I'm 16 and I've also got stripped from the normal life any decent person lives, I have no happy childhood memories (all I remember is being locked up in the house crying over p…

Yep. Literally homeschooled me and one of the reasons was to prevent me from having any friends.

Yes, especially as someone who was homeschooled and not allowed to interact with other children growing up. 

First, I want to say that it is incredibly brave of you to vent this for the first time. Please hear this: You are not a 'toxic person.' You are a person in a toxic environment. You are being 'homes…

I was homeschooled. They wanted me to get into a good college but also spend hours during normal weekday school times doing manual labor around the house and babysitting for no pay.
