Thanks, Buffy. I’m sitting here feeling so bad about it.

They aren’t going to reach out to me. They aren’t going to give me one ounce of compassion. Everybody put themselves first, including me.

My dad sent some political joke email a couple days ago as part of a group text. I responded how he showed me he doesn’t care about me when he refused to have meaningful discussion with me, so please remove us from his spam list.

He wrote back that he meant the joke for my husband and please give the message to him.

My husband FINALLY backed me up with something, he wrote him back that he isn’t interested in jokes and that my dad should act like he loves me by calling me and talking about whatever is important to me.

I never heard from him.

So, that’s it. This was a showdown for power, control, respect from all sides, IDK.

It’s toxic. Which happens to be the word of the year in the U.S. no surprise!

If I’m the toxic person, let them all rid me of their lives.

Besides, my niece said if I support this political administration she really doesn’t want to know me because I have core values that she just can’t tolerate. We never had a political discussion. Does she even know MY core values?

I am very thankful for the good people who are in my life. I certainly want to do all I can not to screw it up with whomever I have left!
