I thought I did ok.

Then he grew up. LOL.

He's drinking the tRump Koolaid.

So now I lose him and his family in a lot of ways.

Maybe someday when the truth is allowed to seep into his brain, he will get it and then it will be like when he turned 25.

He called me up, "Mom, I am so sorry." Out of the blue.

"For what?" I asked.

"For everything I ever did as a kid." He said. Then at my stunned silence, he continued. "Mom, I have 2 of ME. I now know why I drove you crazy sometimes and how hard it is to keep kids safe. I didn't GET IT. I do now."

We laughed and he admitted he had turned into me and was saying "parent stuff" he never thought he would.

Someday. Things may change, but I can't listen to him go on about the "proof" he finds on Newsmax and some crazy woman who is supposedly neutral but peddling tRump lies morning noon and night.
