Gothic Parenting Links

This page is an attempt to compile what resources, articles, and information I can from the web on goths who have become parents. It'll be updated as I find more links. A great deal of it is old, some by many years old, and I wonder if this is in part due to how ubiquitous the goth culture has become. My connection is being a bit wonky so if some links are broken or incorrect please feel free to comment below.

• Cafemom has a few threads if you search, as does the forum goth.net.
  
• I have a love-hate relationship with the Offbeat Empire, after the owner made some dismissive comments toward her readership (that's a story for another day), but her parenting resources for the Alternative Communities are really great.
  
• Pay a visit to Offbeat Parents and Offbeat Home 
  
• The Gothic Portal, links and info on parenting.
• The Gothic Parents portal; I've never been able to figure out mailing lists and stuff, and the overall presentation is a bit dated. However, it might be useful.
  
•  I have not yet checked every link to see if they're live, but this might be a good place to look for info as well.

• This tumblr search pulled up some interesting and controversial stuff as well. I haven't the time atm to log the most relevant ones, so I'll just note the search here for my own future reference. As a note, tumblr is by it's very nature antagonistic and controversial. No one there is shy or gentle with their opinions, and it rife with trolls. I love it though. tumblr search for goth parents

• This book has a section in it regarding goths as parents as well. Here's the google books link to the exact excerpt.
