BARBARA, PLEASE DO NOT BACK OFF- JUST CHANGE YOUR TRAJECTORY A LITTLE. I NEED SUPPORT, JUST NOT ADVICE, BECAUSE THERE IS NOT A SINGLE PERSON ON EARTH WHO KNOWS MY SITUATION I have never been loved- my Mother told me as a child that I ruined her life by being born. I am now 75 and I need friends. Please just speak with me- do not tell me what to do or think, just let us get to know each other as people. Can we do that ?I think that you are a special person and I would really like to get to know you!

Maria, I believe you subscribe to my musings, not yet full on newsletters because I am not tech savvy enough to do so.

You have my support for what help it may be. I identify completely with your situation being told by my father that I ruined his life by being born! My family such as they are have discarded me as they are full blown MAGA crazy imbeciles. I am 77 and homebound with mobility impairments that limit completely my ability to leave my house without the help of my caretaker who happens to be a Black pastor of his own church. ⛪️ I reside in blood red SC and am completely stuck here with my darling stress relievers, 😽😽 Sophie and Claire. I am a cancer research nurse

retired here at the request of my family so they could assist when my disabilities became apparent. As is obvious, that was a decision I regret in every bone of my body (hindsight is so very clear.) I worked as a volunteer in animal rescue but those “friends” abandoned me quickly when my disabilities advanced and I was unable to help physically or donate more money to their rescues. I can ? talk if you like although my voice is leaving me too with other body parts!

Send me your email and perhaps we could prop up one another during this most harrowing time. Wait, think if I look at subscribers on line perhaps I can find you! 🕊️

Hmmm….three “old ladies” trapped in MAGA world not of our choosing. Some have options to relocate, be physically active in community resistance while I for one cannot. I believe community is the way out but not available to some of us. The younger generations will find their way; do you read Dash Dabrovsky? (Sp?) He’s a breath of fresh air, a young man with spunk. Best of luck to all of us in the Trump World we continue to RESIST. 🕊️

I am sorry but I can not continue to have these exchanges. I hope you give yourself the love you deserve. We all need to love ourselves. I am proud of you for holding your own against those difficult family odds. Let's all listen to Heather. She is a bright light of reason and thoughtfulness. That helps

I just have trouble following the logic here. I meant the 2 of you can support one another on line because you are surrounded by the weird MAGA folks and you can support each other against TRUMP!! That is what you have in COMMON with Judith Hubbard. I'm 82 so . . . ! Again best of luck.

Okay, Barbara, I obviously misunderstood and we obviously have different communication methods, but I think we agree on How horrible Trump is. I wish you the VERY best in life and I will find other methods to express myself more effectively. Take care of yourself and I hope you do well!
