I really appreciate and value that this group is brought together by a common philosophy of parenting! There are many ways to practice AP and what draws the moms in this group together is that we all practice, or have practiced, at least one form of AP. Whether you practice all forms of AP, one form, or are just interested in learning more, please know that you are welcome here. I think what makes our group special is the amazing and wonderful moms that are a part of it. Friendships have been fo …

Parental Alienation Syndrome or PAS is a devastating, complex and real problem. Children of divorce become alienated from one of their parents by either the naive or active "brain-washing"/campaign of denigration against the other parent. The right of a parent and child to have a loving relationship is one of the most fundamental rights and developmentally critical relationships a person has. It is challenging to reverse PAS and many alienated parents do not recognize PAS when it is actively hap …

The goal is to find other parents who had a rather painful beginning of the journey of parenthood.

I have been searching in vain for well over a year now for a group to join that homeschools without strings. No religious commitment, no participation requirements, no specific learning style... No rules. That's why I've started Seattle Homeschoolers for the Sake of Homeschooling. Just parents getting together with kids who are home schooled. I know how hard it can be to be a homeschooling parent, and how busy it is. I also know everyone does it a little different. I think that's fine. And I thi …

This is not a support or therapy group, (however, just getting out there can be therapeutic), and I am not pushing an agenda or business idea. This is for men who love their kids, …

There are so many challenges we moms with young children face, but when our spouses or partners are struggling with addiction and/or are in recovery we face even more challenges - challenges that other moms just can't understand.

A place where we can drop the act and tell a friend who "gets it" the truth about what's going on and know we will find encouragement and help. …
