Dear The Ones Who Fight,

I am a mother of 2 children, a boy age 7 and age 3. I work a full time job as a single mother. My ex-husband and I remain on good terms and he helps equally throughout the trying journey which is raising two children.

As parents, we know we aren’t perfect, if you don’t know that as a parent, you likely aren’t doing the thing right. We all make mistakes, we just hope that the harm in our mistakes is nominal and that we learn from them, and evolve to new heights.

I, like so many of you, have spent hours upon hours researching information about being a parent. My boy was vaccinated on the normal schedule, but after some issues occurred (of which I’d rather not go into great detail over as the debate it spawns serves mostly to hurt me), I chose not to vaccinate my girl.

Of all the regrets I have as a parent, my greatest regret at this moment is that I don’t feel like I’ve helped enough in the cause to fight what I see as an extreme loss in parental rights. SB277 is as disturbing as it is depressing. I want to thank all the parents who have walked in protest in their cities and I want to thank those parents who have created websites, posted all over forums to spread information and written senators and assemblymen. I want to thank those who have litigated for rights of all of our children.

The truth is, I’ve been busy, but the deeper truth is, ever since my son’s incident, I’ve been hopeless. When I turn on the news only to read that accepted truths are forced vaccinations and parents having their children taken from them because they walked home from school, I feel a deep sense of gloom. When my family tells me I’m acting with malice for not vaccinating my daughter, I feel exposed and distraught and lifeless. When other parents label me a witch, I feel destitute.

But what have I learned?

It isn’t all about me. That’s what I’ve learned. The center of the world isn’t me. That’s what I know. Those of you who march and write and protest and make videos, you go through all the same trials and tribulations that I do. But yet you still get it done. You don’t just lay there and take it, you fight. You believe you can be the change which you want to see in the world.

From this moment on, I now vow to get it done. I promise to be more vigilant in the fight and to see that the only true hopelessness is not fighting. I promise to pick myself up when I feel down because I see that as the only option. I promise to fight for a better world for not only my children, but your children just as well. I promise to be a part of the movement for parental rights.

I’m sorry for all that I haven’t done. Last night I watched videos of people protesting and it brought me to tears, but that was just what I needed. I needed to feel that emotion. I needed to wake up. I know I may not live in an area that allows me to walk the streets, but there is still so much that I can do. And this letter, as insignificant as it may be, as little read as it may turn out, is my start.

It is my new beginning. And I hope you all will forgive me, for I am now here, awakened, and ready to fight. And I believe we can win.

Signed,
Her Awakening
