@allin Keep in mind that you are not alone and what you are going through is not unique. I hear you and understand what you are going through. You are not a failure, you are not a bad parent, you are not responsible for the actions of your adult child. You can beat yourself senseless for what is occurring but it will achieve nothing. Voting for the TFG is the least of many wrongs that your child could do. Thank her that she is not stealing, maiming, or physically hurting themselves or anyone.
@allin 4. I've told my kids the following: my job as a father is to ensure that you have established yourself financially and with a health insurance.This means that they have an education and direction so that they are self sufficient. Drugs, are at times, much more enticing than family and responsibilities. Lies, manipulation, isolation, depression, insecurity, amongst other feelings, can be overwhelming. You are not alone.
@allin I noticed your post and read through the subsequent replies. Here is the following:
1. Always good to get some weight off your shoulders and release that tension. Sharing it, can at times, bring comfort.
2. Wisdom that comes from those that share similar circumstances can alleviate and lessen the grief.
3. It is always hard for a parent to see their kids as independent adults. There will come a place and time that we have to realize that you've done all that you can do. 1/X
@QueenOfEverything This not so different than religious leaders, churches, and religious entities that get tax exempt status and make the decision to endorse a political candidate.
@QueenOfEverything There is a longstanding understanding that military personnel are not to engage in partisan political
activities and all military personnel will avoid the inference that their political activities imply
or appear to imply DoD sponsorship, approval or endorsement of a political candidate, campaign or cause.. As such. when they do make such endorsement it is going against such recommendations.
@LnzyHou WIshing this was scratch and sniff...sigh...
@LnzyHou You're teasing me...aren't you?
@LnzyHou Need photos so that I can fill my glass with a cold glass of milk...😜
@BlueMan2 Appreciate your response. Learned something from this exchange.👍
@Ruthat Somewhat true. FEMA and disaster respondents are primarily employees of the State or Federal agencies or at times volunteers and not anywhere close to a political position to try to get attention to their political plight. Public dissatisfaction with government will increase dramatically with #climatechange and be ready for more of this...
@BlueMan2 Interesting. Would you consider a baloney and cheese sandwich comfort food? Is the sandwich a reminder of good times? Though baloney is afar from something I would eat, I do have food that reminds me of peaceful, comfortable good times. Just biting into the food brings back good memories.
#Innewsoftheabsurd Imagine US disaster victims doing this against any politician coming to get a photo op...Spain flood survivors hurl mud at the royals and top government officials. #climatechange https://apnews.com/article/spain-floods-king-protest-mud-a8525bd82cf4cc3fc6273d535cbb9d66
@elbutterfield unfortunately, this is just part of this one skit, though you did not miss much...

@BillyBones If she does appear on SNL I know someone that'll be throwing a fit...a certain orange-colored baby...
