New Blog: Daughters of Junia
Daughter of Junia was created “to give a voice to my own experiences and concerns and to tell the story of my divorce from the socially conservative, patriarchal homeschooling movement that I grew up immersed in. I hope that it will be an experience of healing for me and a way of coming to terms with the things I’ve been taught and the things I believe now. I hope too that my experiences can be a comfort to others who have similar stories but who were not given the resources I was given to help them come out of the destructive and debilitating mindset of Biblical Patriarchy.”
I will put this on the Survivor’s page and probably another page or two when I have time.
