re: #138 MsJ
sorry, no to most of those stories
itâs the same thing happening to the country only writ small. these people were always there - we didnt look, or it wasnt so obvious.
these folks are trying to simultaneous maintain two biographies for the same person and the dissonance wonât let âem
your trump supporting, fox news watching, immigrant hating, anti science, etc âmomâ is not the mythical sweet, loving woman who baked you cookies when you were five
- because she never was the person you created your first narrative from - you were younger, didnt see everything, werent privy to everythingâŚwhatever
- or she has so fundamentally shifted that she no longer is that person and your memory, accurate or no, is all thatâs left. the real person is lost for all time and isnt coming back.
for your own sanity you have to give up one narrative or the other.
iâve been through this. brutally. thankfully not with politics. with eldercare and personality altering medications.
it works exactly the same and your sanity will not reconcile the two.
