Does anyone else just randomly break down and cry since Trump was inaugurated?

18. First of all...{{{{hugs}}}}

The night of the election was when I really cried from the pain of it,since then it has just been very sore!

I am very open and honest with my grandsons (ages 9 and 7) about how I feel about the president. I think it gives them a sense that they can question the actions of a grown up by using common sense and caring. It's like I am telling them that some people have to be in charge but they can't do it by being bullies or not understanding how the basic rules work.

We still do have too much sexism in this world, but it does seem like a lot less than when I was younger (I am 52). My sister and I were raised by a single mother in the 60s which was not very common and I could see a difference then that I don't see as much now. So there has been some recent improvement even within my lifetime. I like to think that your daughter and my grandson's generation will keep this trajectory going. tRump's BS is NOT going to stop us. We are just waylaid as the last of the old types have a last hurrah.

We do need to stay connected, and the internet has made us more of a collective than in the past. Hearing each other and reaching out.

Take care of yourself so you can be the best for your daughter! She will grow through these years and make progress, and SO WILL WE!!!
