So sad, and so angry

I owe you all a catch up post...with things like - my mom is miraculously cancer free, what's going on in life blah blah blah. Maybe I'll actually do that - maybe I'll just go forward. I think I need a place again. Whether anyone is reading it or not ( Read more... )

I am absolutely right there with you. I haven't spoken more than a few words to my husband (he's a Trump voter) in days, and I am just incredibly angry.

So happy to hear that your mom is cancer free!

{{{hugs}}} Ugh. This election has been so hard. All the lead-up and, most especially, THE RESULT. I was seriously distraught on Wed. Cried telling my kids Trump won, cried through Hillary's gracious concession speech. Just miserable. I somehow can't step away from FB, and I need to. I don't really have Trumpers on there. Unfollowed two people the other day, friends from high school, who didn't put so much on their walls as just like stuff that I don't want to see. I don't interact with them anyway, so NBD. I *just* talked to my dad, and we kind of skirted around the issue. He was not happy with either candidate, does not like Trump, but I am still not sure if he voted for him. And honestly, I don't want to know. I am in the camp of if you did, I think less of you, line in sand. There is no excusing it, as far as I am concerned.

Right there with you. Very hard not to think of less of someone because of this. Yet I have *really* tried to overcome the big judgmental gene that seems to run strong from my mom's line. Eric, my BiL, 1 SiL & nieces/nephews got into it w/ E's oldest sis in response to one of those FB "Voting this way doesn't mean I'm racist..." types of articles. All of these family members were going really hard (in a smart-ish way) at some of her comments and those of her friends. So much so she took the post down and then had a private email fight with Eric. So ugly. She kept saying "I'm sorry you're so angry and upset. I'm hopeful!" so Eric ended one of his notes to her with "Ignorance is bliss". Needless to say, that didn't go over well (especially since I know she usually thinks very highly of him and knows he's smart). Ugh... Pure ugliness all around. And just so darn insane that a candidate can get so many more votes and yet not win. I know, I know. I get the purpose of the electoral college (which people keep trying to educate me on as if ( ... )
