Makes me sad every time I hear about another split couple where one is loosing grip on what a family is supposed to be: a unit of its kind. In Germany it is a mayor problem when one spouse then involves authorities. So I hope you as parants find a mutual understanding without reaching to strangers.

I'm chiming in here with @freemotherearth because you definitely are not alone. Quite the opposite! I found great support with Sue Petersson and unschoolingmom2mom especially in the question of directly addressing the worries someone connects to unschooling even though those worries still go with schooling or probably even worse. So, often times, when people speak their worries everyone may join in to say: Yes, that's exactly what I am worried about as well! And then it's only one step away from realizing that these worries are one more reason to unschool or homeschool instead of complianceschool.

On all accounts: I wish you the very best, @trucklife-family
