My sister’s boyfriend has become obsessed with all conspiracies over the last year and a half. It started off harmless, but now has impacted my sister’s life so much that I fear for the safety of her and her two kids. Obsessed with Trump and how he will come back and win and he’s doing… Continue reading anonymous

I think what is so hard to articulate is how drastically people succumbed to all the rhetoric. We watched those we loved and served shoulder to shoulder with accept indecency after indecency, swallow half truth after half truth, and follow blindly every and any conspiracy theory. They have become numb to facts and have disposed… Continue reading shelia b.

My wife and I instituted a hard boundary with my parents like seven or eight years ago around talking about politics – namely, that they’re not allowed to around us. No oblique mentions, no little side comments – nothing. (My Dad, mostly … my Mom is a reasonable conversation partner, and willing to listen … my Dad… Continue reading anonymous

I’ve always tried very hard to find silver linings, and to believe that truth, even ugly truth, is better than living with the false sense that everything is ok.

I showed up for myself, driving to Houston (3 hours away), to surprise my only sister for her 60th birthday. She wasn’t overjoyed to see me, but I’m glad I went. I needed to be there for her, since she lost her husband of 40 years in March. 2020 taught me even more clearly than… Continue reading lisa s.

For me this past year hasn’t been that much different. I have a stage IV diagnosis, so everyday I worry or wonder am I going to get sick or die, and as far as financially I can’t work a real job so that didn’t change … for so many of us who are living with… Continue reading bridgette g.

Places and people around me have changed in response to events, but my “normal” life did not change significantly. The benefit of being more isolated, mostly introverted, and less involved with the drama of reactivity to events has resulted in more time to do what I love, less stress, greater peace of mind.
