Don’t forget the kids…

We’ve waited for doom for years. We’ve prepared and ensured we can feed our family. We’ve fortified our homes or gotten a bug out location ready…some of us may have already bugged out. We’ve ensured we have thr means to survive financially whether it’s through crypto, barter or trade. We’ve equipped ourselves with the knowledge to protect our families to the best of our abilities. We’ve prepared ourselves physically and mentally prepared ourselves for the death and destruction we know is looming around the corner but what have we done to prepare our kids? The kids are the ones with the short end of thr stick here and and really get a shitty deal no matter how this plays out.

As adults and parents we have been spending so much time over the years dreaming and preparing for doom focusing on all of the above…all of the “adult” things that go along with being prepared but have we spent enough time preparing our kids? I thought I had. Being a single mom I know I have always done my best but this week I realized I hadn’t prepared my teens to deal with the loss of their friends due to the vax.

This week after picking my son up at HS he got a call from his best friend letting him know he was at the hospital and had just been told at best he has 5 years left to live. My son is a big kid..almost 6’4, 258lbs, all muscle. He’s a Patriot at heart that has known since being a toddler he wants to protect his country and stand up for our freedom.

Because my kids were raised solely by me without influence from their father, I never sugar coated the world for them. They were raised awake and know no one will come save us it is us against them, not “they are with us” and have our best interest at heart. My kids can shoot a variety of firearms with precise accuracy and can take a gun apart, clean it and put it back together. They know survival skills and Jesus. They know encampments will be a part of their lives as well as beheadings. I thought as an awake and prepared woman I had given my kids everything they needed to get through what is coming but the harsh reality is that I didn’t.

While I prepared my kids to see death from disease, starvation and violence, I never specified children will also die. I never prepared them to lose their friends or equipped them with the knowledge they needed to handle that situation let alone to even be able to appropriately respond to one of their peers telling them they were dying. I thought I had covered all my bases…

Thankfully I was with my son when he got the call and because we have such an amazingly open relationship he immediately told me and we were able to engage in deep convo about the heartbreaking fact they will not only experience the loss of adults in their lives but they will also lose friends, even best friends. As a parent it was heartbreaking to see the look on my sons face as he held back his emotions and reality settled in.

A couple days ago an AC posted a thread on best advice to give thr unvaxed for what lies ahead and I shared this experience. This morning I woke up and felt the urge to make a thread for parents to come and talk about ways we can ensure our kids are mentally prepared for what is to come. I pray that my experience saves another family from having to go through this.

Don’t forget the kids. My kid is big, his voice is deep and he’s built like a linebacker. I forget he’s a kid sometimes and as I’ve hustled around handling adult business and preparing my kids for adult survival, I overlooked the fact he might look like a man but he’s still a kid inside and sometimes I have to be more specific with my words and not assume he understands who is affected by this. Our kids gets shitty deal here and we need to make sure that we age appropriately prepare them for what’s coming. My kids know Jesus and the Bible. They know what’s coming and they know a day may come where they are asked to renounce Jesus or witness the torture a d death of those they love. They know and are prepared to stand steadfast in their faith in Jesus regardless to what they witness because this is just a moment in time…we will be together again and it all will be ok…as if teaching them that wasn’t hard enough we also need to teach them to console friends that may die or be dying, we need to teach them how to grieve the loss of a peer, we need to empower them with strength so they aren’t overcome with fear.

We live in an evil world and as parents need to do our best to empower our kids proactively so they don’t lose their shit when this all comes to a boil. Going through this with kids is hard but going through this wiyh kids that are emotionally a d mentally broken because they weren’t prepared for the horrors before them would be pure torture as a parent. Let’s do our best to ensure our kids get through this as well as they can.

Let’s use this thread to discuss ways we’ve prepped our kids for what lies ahead and discuss prepping supplies for households with kids. I will be in and out today but will respond as I can, hopefully the thread gains some momentum because I think this is an important topic.

Blessings.
