98. I don't blame you.

Nov 3

All of us who are not cult members do. You and I think most parents want a hopeful future for your kids. I don't even have any but want all of them to have a chance to thrive. It's what previous generations gave to us.

I literally had a major breakdown because of tsf. We are talking about 3 weeks in the hospital and ECT bad. Luckily I had an excellent psychiatrist who really cared and did everything she could to pull me out of it. Because of my historical studies I knew exactly what tsf was. I fought my way back and calmed down under President Biden. I felt safe. Now I am scared that the lunatic will take over, but am hoping the V.P sends him packing.

I am going to do my best not to fall apart this time because I don't want to leave my sister, my dog, and my cat, but the struggle to stay sane will be hard, if he wins. I just hope he is the biggest looser in history. 🙏
